Kayak & canoe launches in Vermont

We list 10 kayak launches in Vermont, most of them around Brattleboro (2), Burlington (2), Newport (2) and Swanton (2).

Among others Missisquoi River, Connecticut River, West River, Winooski River and Shelburne Bay.

Rules differ by state. Vermont may not register paddle craft, but state parks or wildlife areas can still require a launch permit or parking fee.

Every paddler in Vermont needs an approved life jacket on board, and kids have to wear theirs.

6 of the 10 are marked free in the map data, including Old Ferry Road Boat Launch, West River Park Kayak Lauch and Clyde River Charleston Boat Ramp.
