The beautiful scenery of Rutland County and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. This section of Mill River is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. The river winds through the Green Mountains and you get great scenery. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whitewater |
rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area
| with plenty of places for that. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Rutland, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. This section is long | |

enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip.
Briefly about the general area: The slopes of Pico Mountain are so inviting noone can resist, and there's delightful hiking along the Homer
Stone Trail. You just have to have a thing about the Green Mountains. Clarendon Gorge is a glorious location to pop by close to Mill River, and pleasant hiking is available along the Keewaydin Trail. A river like this is
too good to miss. When you're here at Mill River it's always fun to check out Green Mountain National Forest, and at Mill River you always meet someone from North Clarendon.
