The Winooski River is a favorite for wildlife lovers. As it winds its way through the densely wooded landscape you may see otters, deer, or even an occasional moose. As you float slowly through Vermont farmland you'll be awed by the views of Camel's Hump Mountain. The Winooski is a bird watchers paradise. The Great Blue Heron and Kingfisher call this river home because of its incredible fishing.
