CLASS I-II     8 miles

The Hanksville to Cochran Road stretch of Huntington River is 8 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
    This is the only paddling stretch along Huntington River. Whitewater paddling here in the Green Mountains is a great experience. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these
hotels fill up quick. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's good length for a morning trip. The wonderful Vermont scenery and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here.
