2023 PARKING NOTICE
Repaving will take place on Route 30 from Brattleboro through Newfane with traffic and parking disruptions this summer. According to the state contractor conducting this work, they will do their best to keep the shoulders open for parking, but on certain days when they need to work in these areas, parking will not be permitted. Folks are asked to respect this by not parking in any areas that are coned off or where construction machinery/work is active. Although the specific timeline is unpredictable, Rock River Preservation will do our best to relay anything further we hear about closures or restrictions. Please sign up for our newsletter by emailing us, or if you're on Facebook, check the "Rock River Vermont 2023" group which will likely post updates on parking restrictions.

The Land and The River

Rock River is a beautiful tributary of the Connecticut River in Southern Vermont.  When folks speak of "Rock River", they're often referring to the wilderness trails and "beaches" alongside the lower reaches of this river.  Rock River Preservation, Inc. is a group of volunteers who took the initiative to conserve this land.  We continue to proudly maintain it for future generations!  Please see our visitors page for further information and guidelines.

The Community

Rock River Preservation strives to maintain a collaborative relationship with adjacent landowners and the communities of Newfane and Dummerston, through which Rock River passes. We oversee regular maintenance and cleanup of the trails and swimming holes of Rock River Preservation, Inc.-owned land. We post rules for responsible use of the river by visitors and coordinate a stewardship program through which these are communicated and administered. We take an active role in suppressing non-native plant species that appear on the land. We are proud to make annual donations to the local first responder agencies who keep our community safe.

Visitors

Visitors to Rock River are asked to enjoy this special place in a spirit of RESPECT for our Community, the Land, and fellow Visitors (please see our guidelines for complete details). Parking is available along Route 30 in Dummerston. The land is accessed by woodland trails (see our map). We urge you to read our full visitor information carefully and make all necessary preparations before your visit.

Take part in the ongoing preservation
of Rock River!

Rock River exists only thanks the work and financial support of its visitors. We ask you to consider ways that you can contribute so that others may continue to enjoy this special place in the future.
