Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Vermont is often easier than elsewhere, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The beautiful Green Mountains
    scenery is an added bonus. No shortage of good hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is the only paddling section along Clarendon River. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there
are lots of good rivers for that around here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
