During the summer months, we especially want to alert you to the danger of swimming in surrounding lakes, rivers or streams. In particular, the Huntington Gorge in Richmond, Vermont, has dangerous rapids and unpredictable water currents that pose significant safety risks. Please act with great caution as you enjoy the summer months.
