Pick about any river, lake or pond here and you can find all sorts of uncrowded boating enthusiasts. Every spring, the Mad and West rivers are destinations for recreational and competitive kayaking and canoeing. Other popular water meccas for canoeists include the Otter Creek and the Lamoille, Missisquoi and the Winooski Rivers, to name a few. At Montpelier, a new riverside park has opened for easy water access on the Winooski. And don't forget the kids.
Inflated tubes are great fun to skim the waters like the White River or Wells River.
You can paddle up a lazy river or run the slalom chutes of white water. Just point your equipment toward Vermont.
