| Route 123 bridge crossing. The water is deep under the bridge but becomes shallow with islands and some rocks above and below the bridge. There is a lot of wildlife along the river. Here a fawn was walking along the river edge in the mid morning. Clouds and nice reflections on the other nice day I had while doing the research. I was on the river with Martini for 12 days in early July. The Marina on the West River. The Route 5 bridge is at lower right. Docks and a restaurant are available. Easy access from Ct River. Just below the Riverview Cafe there is a gravel ledge. The old truss bridge is downriver in about 20 to 30 feet of water. Old train bridge has not been used since the flood of 1927. Deep water is under the bridge. Prospect Street ramp is at left. Access to the river is under the bridge at right. See photo at right for bridge. The river and flooded fields in Hinsdale. When the dam was built the higher water inundated many fields causing lots of weeds to grow in the shallow areas. |

A stunningly beautiful day on
the river. No wind, glass
smooth and plenty of sun to
make research fun.
The north end of Dunshee
Island is very shallow. Great
for paddlers but not good for
power boats.
The U.S.N. SeaBees
bridges. The older bridge is
a walkiing trail, the newer
one is route 9. The gets
quite deep under the bridge.
Norm's Marina on the New
Hampshire shore opposite
Brattleboro. Launch ramp,
docks, and gas available.
Island Park Shoals is all that
is left of a major island with
facilities for summer fun.
The 1927 flood washed it
away.
More typical of the weather I
experienced. Nonstop rain
for days, sometimes so hard
I could not see shore.
The bridge that boaters have
to go through to get from the
Prospect Street Ramp to the
river. Duck!!
The Vernon Dam with power
station. The take out is at
upper center and the put in
at upper left.

| Pine Street launch area from the west. Water is deep enough to launch power boats. Channel is in center of the tributary. |
The Pine Street Launch
ramp is paved with a
floating dock. This is the
take out point for paddlers
going around Bellows Falls.
