Kayaking in the Stowe, VT area

Advice
#1

Hi folks,



We’re in Stowe, VT for a few days, have a couple of kayaks and a couple of cars - ideal for some car dropoffs. Any nice, easy river trips for the wife and me, while we’re here??



Thanks in advance…

Don’t recall the exact location of Stowe
but the White River, which runs down from the NW to the Hanover NH area, is an excellent class 1-2 run. With all the NE rain this year, it should be at a good level. I ran it in a ww canoe, but it is certainly easy enough for rec or touring kayaks.

Missisqoui National Wildlife Reserve in Swanton VT. Its about 45 min from Stowe. Its a protected area of Lake Champlain

Winooski, Lamoille Rivers. I have not paddled either and do not know the put ins. All I can say is paddlers are resourceful and go snoop!

I like the White too but its an hour and a half away.

kayaking in Vermont
Not sure of the distance between Stowe and Rutland, VT - but there are 2-3 nice lakes north and west of the Rutland area. Lake Bomoseen and Lake St. Catherine readily come to mind. There are a couple more closer to the Rutland area. Also check out lakes in the New Hampshire state. Might be closer and still give you a nice outing without having too long of a drive.

vermont kayak
a couple of weeks ago my wife and i took a wine and water tour on the Lamoille starting in Jeffersoville

(near Smugglers notch) we enjoyed it. kayak shack is behind a small restaurant called “Jeffy’s” we have to find out where there are public put in and take out are. also straight up rt 100

there as a small lake, Lake Eden has a public launch at the north? end. there are quite a few lakes in the area. like someone else said, you can ask at Umiak.
