River Description

The Lower Lamoille is a fun easy afterwork run, or can be accessed for some of he best park and play in Northern Vermont.

Okay, so there is alot of flatwater on this run, but there are a number of nice playspots, and it usually holds up a while after rains
There are two long class 2+ rapids midway down the run. One of which has a nice playspot on the left, called 'smiley'
The other rapid of interest is right above the takeout. 5 Chutes is the biggest rapid on the river, and normally provide some playable features at most levels. 4500-5500 is optimum for the 'dream hole'.

Put in: Rough Parking on river right below Fairfax falls

Take out: A couple of options. Near the Railroad bridge at east Georgia, Or cross the river just above the lake, and take the first right, and park a few hundred meters up.



Other Nearby Runs: The North Branch Lamoille & Gihon are harder rivers nearby. The upper Lamoille has several interesting falls (Dog Head falls, and the slide), which may or may not be runnable, depending on levels.
Ithiel falls on the Lamoille,is also paddleable ata a variety of levels.
