The Boathouse is for use by all students at Middlebury College. Located behind Proctor in the Longwell Garage, it is home to an ample regatta. This is not the place to look for crew shells, though. To sign out equipment call the Houseboat Manager for more details.
Otter Creek offers some decent whit ewater, especially in the Spring.
Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area offers an easy flatwater paddle and, in the fall, the spectacle of 35,000 snow geese migrating south. For more trips see Suggested Canoe Trips. The Houseboat Manager is responsible for one water guide seminar per semester, purchasing canoes, and signing in and out the equipment. This person is a Board member and should attend the weekly meetings. Every once in a while a guidebook appears, identifying to the public some until-then secret destination, some jewel of the wildlands.
