Rivers and Waterways in Vermont
Vermont’s river systems flow through mountains, valleys, and forested landscapes, with most waterways draining into Lake Champlain or the Connecticut River. Western rivers flow into Lake Champlain and then the St. Lawrence River, while eastern rivers flow south into the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound. The state’s rivers are largely fed by snowmelt and rainfall, especially in spring. Numerous lakes and reservoirs support drinking water, recreation, and local ecosystems across Vermont.
