Vermont whitewater - Deerfield River - West Branch, Bennington County Bennington county, Heartwellville to Readsboro Village section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS V     3.5 miles   WOW. don't come here unless you been paddlin for some time. Although a bit easier than CL5 I have done in other states, this still comes at you fast. Not easy to find a place to stay if looking for a room as it was stated here. Wasn't hard to find a place and park for the night though and with a mini van with DVDs, we snuggled up nice, with noone to bother us. Oh yeah, nice and cool at night (although summer) glad we had a lot of blankets and ways to stay warm.
