Vermont whitewater - Mill River, Green Mountains, Rutland County

Rutland county, East Wallingford to Clarendon section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     6 miles
  The nature scenery of Vermont and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Rutland, as you can see on the road map further down. This section of Mill River is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Vermont you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. Getting
    some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. Mill River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the East Wallingford to Clarendon section is the only one. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or
kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. On this section you do get some distance, it's perfect for a one day trip. When you're paddling down a Green Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.

Briefly about the general area:
An average amount of precipitation falls at Mill River; August is the month that gets the

This river is so great. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Green Mountains.

There is a tremendous hiking trail near Mill River called the Homer Stone Trail, and if you're here why not have a look at Clarendon Gorge.
