“We are so very happy to contribute to this effort to save our swimming waters. I have enjoyed swimming there for over fifty years and agree at all costs it should remain always as it is today. When the world goes totally mad, this place will help put things back in perspective! Thank goodness for this movement toward perpetuity.”

Popular local swimming holes, breathtaking gorges and waterfalls, fishing and boating accesses, paddlers’ trails and meandering river corridors have all been protected by the Vermont River Conservancy for future generations to enjoy.

The Vermont River Conservancy protects public access, wildlife habitat, clean waters, scenic natural beauty and ecological integrity by conserving undeveloped land along rivers, lakes and wetlands of Vermont. Since 1995, working in cooperation with state and federal agencies, municipalities and other conservation organizations, VRC has completed over 30 projects around the state.

We are glad to hear about other places that are favorites. What may be accessible to the public today could be off limits in the future unless access protections are in place. The VRC uses a time-tested series of steps to acquire permanent public access where landowners are willing sellers.
