About This Access Site
This take-out location on the Deerfield River at Harriman Reservoir in Wilmington provides access for paddlers finishing whitewater runs. The site serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists coming down the Deerfield, which is known for its whitewater sections. Being a take-out rather than a launch point, this location is primarily used by boaters completing their downriver journey.

Paddlers should be aware that take-out sites typically have limited amenities compared to full access areas. The specific features and conditions at this location, such as parking availability, vehicle access difficulty, and any hazards near the take-out point, should be verified before your trip. The Deerfield River can have significant current and flow variations depending on dam releases and water conditions, so checking current water levels and weather before paddling is recommended.

This location is situated in the Windham County area near Wilmington, Vermont, which has access to several whitewater sections. Plan your exit strategy in advance and ensure you have transportation arranged, as take-out areas may have limited parking or require shuttle coordination.
