The wonderful Windham / Bennington County scenery and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The put-in location is a short drive from Bennington, there's a road map further down the page with more info
    on that. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. 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. Winhall River
doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Grahamville School Road to Winhall Campgrounds stretch is the only one. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The beauty of the Green Mountains is a great plus for this river. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners.

Briefly about the general area:
There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Stratton,
 
and French Hollow is a great site to spend some time. For the duration of the summertime at Winhall River temperatures are mostly in the 80's. Through the moonlight hours it's usually in the 50's. For the duration of the wintertime this place gets highs in the 30's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Winhall River temperatures drop to the 10's.
Life's too short to enjoy all the enjoyable stuff in the Green Mountains. You don't should go far from Winhall River to enjoy Winhall Town Forest. Winhall River generally gets a large amount of precipitation; August is when you get the most rain here; the driest month is February.
