The scenic beauty of Lamoille County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.

get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This section of Gihon River is 3 miles long and it is classified as a class III section by American Whitewater. The wild scenery of the Green Mountains is great. Getting your paddling muscles
activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. Gihon River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the VT 100c to covered bridge section is the only one.
