We drove along the river a few times on the way to Woodstock. This is a beautiful drive. I had to stop several times to take photos, to drive across covered bridges and to take pictures from the other side of the river. This was a perfect, relaxing and beautiful drive.

We walked both ways along the river - up to the lake and down to the gorge. Really pretty ... an easy walk and certainly worth it

We have lots of outdoor fun in this area. I like to kayak up from the Hartland Dam to the bottom of the Ottaquechee River around and back. This is where the water goes through from the Gorge. On the other side of the Gorge we have gone cross-country skiing when the water freezes and the snow is there. We... More

It is always a surprise to cross the bridge over the gorge and look down. Aside from looking down into the gorge from the bridge and edges, walk down the trail and view it from below.

This Taftsville covered bridge was damaged during the 2011 Irene hurricane and will be under repairs for 2012 and 2013 but still very interesting to see. State stocks the river with fish each year. Later it runs into... More

My husbands first view of this bridge and river he called me in California and described how much he was enjoying it ...Years later we traveled there together, now it is a part of our yearly travels. We love New England sights and this is so traditional. There is a small store above the bridge, I walked in for a... More
