Boating, Water Skiing and Swimming in Brattleboro and Southeastern Vermont

The West and Connecticut Rivers are both safe for swimming. On Route 30, which follows the West River, you will see cars parked at pull outs where people have taken the day off to go swimming. The most picturesque sites are the Dummerston covered bridge and the Scott covered bridge. There is a public pool at Living Memorial Park in Brattleboro. On of our favorite swimming holes is below the Vernon Dam just south of Brattleboro. All swimming holes are unsupervised. Use caution, the rocks are slippery!

There is great water skiing on the Connecticut River. 22 miles of quiet river from Vernon to Bellows Falls. Boat launch areas are at the end of Old Ferry Road in Brattleboro (off Exit 3) and just off Exit 4 in Putney. If you don't have a boat but would like to get out on the water you can rent a canoe or kayak at the mouth of the West River on Putney Road in Brattleboro. Lake Whitingham (Harriman Reservoir) is great boating and swimming. The water level varies considerably during the course of the year.
