CLASS II-IV     10 miles
  The beautiful scenery of Vermont and the water flowing gracefully down Joe's Brook River attract people from near and far. The West Danville to covered bridge stretch of Joe's Brook River is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. Some people prefer
    whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite
a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The West Danville to covered bridge stretch is the only paddling stretch along Joe's Brook River. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whitewater paddling here in the Green Mountains is a great experience.
