Green River Dam Road Hyde Park boat launch
Green River Dam Road Hyde Park
The ramp provides access to the Green River Reservoir, a 2,100-acre body of water located in Hyde Park, VT. The reservoir is surrounded by state-owned land, and its clear waters are popular for fishing, kayaking, and camping.
Only non-motorized watercraft are allowed on the Green River Reservoir, including canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and rowboats. Gas-powered motors and jet skis are prohibited, in order to preserve the reservoir's natural beauty and protect its wildlife.
It's important to note that boaters must follow all Vermont boating regulations, including wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) and carrying the required safety equipment. Additionally, boaters must obtain a Vermont boat registration or purchase a temporary boating permit before launching on the Green River Reservoir.
The above information is accurate as of August 2021, but it's always a good idea to double-check with local authorities or the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department for any updates or changes to regulations.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Green River Dam Road Hyde Park
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
