Vermont whitewater - New Haven River, Green Mountains, Addison County

Addison county, West Lincoln to Route 116 bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     1.3 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Vermont are easier than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The West Lincoln to Route 116 bridge section of New Haven River is 1.3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class V section. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the West Lincoln to Route 116 bridge section is one of them. This is a very short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over
    and over. The put-in location is a short drive from Rutland, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a
very popular destination. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. The beautiful Green Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The nature scenery of Addison County and the water flowing gracefully down New Haven River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.

Briefly about the general area:
The amount of rain that falls at New Haven River is close to the national average; August is when
 
you get the most rain here, and February is the month with the least moisture. There's no way anybody can get bored here in the Green Mountains. There are pleasant spots to look at along the Beaver Meadow Trail.
At New Haven River all through the warmest time of the year highs are in the 80's, and the night is somewhat cooler of course, typically in the 50's.
