Proclamation Boundary To Proclamation Boundary river run
Proclamation Boundary To Proclamation Boundary
The Whitewater River Run Proclamation Boundary to Proclamation Boundary is a popular rafting destination in Vermont. The ideal streamflow range for this section of the river is between 800-1200 cfs. This section of the river is rated as a Class III-IV, which means it has moderate to difficult rapids that require some technical expertise. The segment mileage of this section of the river is approximately 8 miles, and it includes several rapids and obstacles such as Deadening Falls, Big Brother, and Triple Drop.
Regulations for this area include the requirement of personal flotation devices (PFDs) for all participants and the prohibition of alcohol and drug use. Additionally, the use of motorized watercraft is not allowed in this section of the river. It is important for participants to be aware of the dangers of swift currents, underwater obstacles, and the risk of hypothermia in cold water.
Sources such as American Whitewater and Vermont River Conservancy provide valuable information on ideal streamflow ranges, class ratings, and specific rapids and obstacles. It is important for participants to research and prepare before embarking on this challenging whitewater adventure.

Fishing spots
Whitewater safety
- Check the flow before you run
- Use the linked-gauge card and Regional Flow panel above. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV+ at high water.
- Know your skill ceiling
- Pick runs comfortably below your ceiling. Cold-water and big-water runs raise the consequences of any mistake.
- Wear the right gear
- Helmet, PFD, drysuit / wetsuit when water is below 60°F. Throw bag, knife, and whistle on your person, not in the boat.
- Scout, set safety, and run with a team
- Scout new rapids on foot, set safety with throw bags above the consequence pool, and run with at least one other competent paddler.
- Respect the river
- Strainers, undercuts, low-head dams, and wood can kill at any class rating. When in doubt, portage.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Proclamation Boundary To Proclamation Boundary as a favorite, set a discharge threshold (e.g. "alert me when flow hits 600 cfs"), and the iOS app pushes the moment the linked gauge crosses.
