Vermont whitewater - Moose River, Green Mountains, Caledonia / Essex County

Caledonia / Essex county, Victory Bog to Passumpsic River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-IV     18 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Berlin, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The scenic beauty of Caledonia / Essex County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if
    you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling places. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. A bit of
exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The river winds through the Green Mountains and you get great scenery. Moose River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Victory Bog to Passumpsic River stretch is the only one. The Victory Bog to Passumpsic River stretch of Moose River is 18 miles long and is a class I-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
