Vermont river ideal for trout fishing.
Reviewed By GregM60154 - Westchester, United States
The Winooski River walk runs from Main Street west along the River. You have to take a jog around the old mill building to begin but then it opens to a wide pedestrian pathway for several blocks. At the end of the bridge in turns into an unpaved nature trail through the woods. It is a beautiful stroll filled with scenic wonder. Leashed dogs are permitted.

Opening day is May 28, 2021! The Local Motion Bike Ferry is a unique way to travel across the gap in the Colchester Causeway along the Island Line Trail. The 45-foot long pontoon boat has been equipped with bike racks and comfortable seats to carry bikers and walkers between Colchester and the Hero Islands. The 200-foot wide gap in the Causeway is bridged by the Bike Ferry, turning the ride into a novel and beautiful biking experience. From downtown Burlington, you can travel by foot or by bike along the 13-mile Island Line Trail. The final three miles are on the Colchester Causeway, a strip of raised land extending into Lake Champlain that is bridged by the Local Motion Bike Ferry and surrounded by water and mountain views. The experienced crew will direct you to load your bike onto the boat and will share some fun facts about the mountain views.

We're blessed to have this amazing resource right in our back yard! Throughout the season, we ride our bikes north from Colchester, up the breathtaking causeway, across the cut via the jaunty bike ferry, and on to favorite activities in the islands l like a wine tasting, ice cream cones, and markets.

River that runs through Woodstock.
Reviewed By LMom1
If driving along Rt 4 near Quechee and Woodstock, you will going next to or over the Ottaquechee River many times. There are a surprising number of covered bridges that are easy to see in the area. Plus the magnificent deep gorge is right there below the highway (worth a stop and a walk).
