  The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Burlington-South Burlington, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camping stuff. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end
    up sleeping in your car. This stretch of Lamoille River in Vermont is 11.5 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The nature scenery of Vermont
and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. When you're paddling down a Green Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too.
