Perhaps because the old mill town of Richford is a trailhead for the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740 mile ancient waterway that spans Maine, New Hampshire, Quebec, Vermont and upstate New York, paddling is a favorite past-time for locals and visitors alike. Whether you enjoy kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding, whether you are experienced or a beginning paddler, whether you are young or old, paddling by yourself or with a family or group, paddling in northern Vermont should not be missed.  The companies below offer guided tours or equipment rentals of canoes, kayaks and paddle boards in northern Vermont.
