CLASS I-III 21.5 miles
The Route 16 north of Glover to Lake Memphremagog stretch of Barton River is 21.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are
great reasons to come. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. This
is the only paddling section along Barton River. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The beauty of the Green Mountains is a great plus for this river. The wonderful Orleans County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Barton River make the trip here worthwhile.
