KAYAKING AND CANOEING IN VERMONT - Upper West River Run
Top 3 Reasons to Go
- A challenging class III run with powerful current and great scenery.
- Our friendly professional instructors are ACA certified and love passing on their passion for the sport. Our ratio of 1 instructor to 4 students assures lots of personal attention.
- The West River is a classic New England whitewater run.
The Upper West River Run is a great way to go kayaking or canoeing on this quintessential class III run in southern Vermont. Participants in Upper West River Runs should be strong intermediate kayakers or canoeists with solid river maneuvering, rolling and self-rescue skills on class III whitewater.
With just three release days a year, this gem is worth catching every time you can. The Upper West is fairly continuous pushy class III with a few resting stops and lots of great surfing, high-speed eddies and opportunities to whoop it up in your kayak or canoe.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE
Goal of the clinic:
To provide opportunities for class III paddlers to run the Upper West River under the guidance of an able instructor.
Who should take the clinic:
Kayakers or canoeists who are comfortable in class III and want a chance to gain experience or paddle a new river under the expert leadership of qualified instructors. Our minimum age for these clinics is 14.
What will be covered:
The instructor will lead a warm up session before setting out down the river, and will set up a river order. While the day is set up to be experiential, not instructional, students may ask for help on specific skills while paddling the river.
