The beautiful scenery of Lamoille County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here.

This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Slide Falls to Jeffersonville section is one of them. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your camp stove.
