Rock River and Rock River Preservation, Inc.

Rock River is a tributary of the West River, running its entire course within Windham County, Vermont.  The river provides essential habitat to a wide range of plants, animals and aquatic life, which depend on a clean water environment.  As the river winds downstream, it has also traditionally provided sanctuary and solace to varied groups of users who prize the cool, clean water and warm rocks for summertime recreation. 

Rock River Preservation, Inc., in partnership with the Vermont Land Trust, is committed to protecting this natural environment through a conservation easement.  We users are all the caretakers of this special place.  To ensure that the environment remains healthy, that everyone’s rights are respected and that all may continue to enjoy the tranquil beauty of this special place, please join us in observing the following guidelines:
