Class I-II Northern Forest Canoe Trail, VT

Vermont is home to the eastern edge of Lake Champlain, one of the most storied lakes in America and the largest water body on the trail. The Wild & Scenic Upper Missisquoi River flows through farm country and enters Lake Champlain through a delta protected by the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. The “Grand Portage” connects the Missisquoi valley with Lake Memphremagog in Quebec. The Clyde River flows through remote fens, but it also has stretches of whitewater. The Nulhegan River drops through the Silvio O. Conte Fish & Wildlife Refuge on its descent to the Connecticut River valley. Use Maps 4 – 5 – 6 for Vermont, Quebec, and part of New Hampshire.
