Bolton Dam Access
Bolton Dam Access is a formal recreation area managed by Green Mountain Power, located downstream of the Bolton Falls Dam on the Winooski River in Washington County, Vermont.
The day-use area includes parking, a picnic area, and river access via a well-developed portage trail (approximately 0.
5 miles) that connects a take-out point upstream of the dam to a put-in area at the downstream access point, making it suitable for paddlers seeking to bypass the dam. The facility provides adequate parking and amenities for both paddlers and anglers.
