There are numerous swimming holes in both the Brewster River and the West Branch. Beat the heat and the more crowded spots by taking a quick creek walk either up or downstream.

Cutting through the landscape you become part of it. The paddle\u2019s rhythm is consistent and true as the river carries you past overhanging maples and sunlit bends. On the Lamoille, the flow moves slow and smooth, and the world feels wide open and hushed. You pass under old railroad bridges and through fields that hum with summer. A heron lifts from the bank, wings simultaneously kissing the surface. A rainbow trout rises and sips in the seasonal hatch drifting on top of the current.\u00a0It is not about getting somewhere \u2013 this is about being present.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/resort-info\/hours\/\">Hours of Operation<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/CHECKIN_7_14_2025-R21.pdf\">Weekly Activity Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-60b43b624ea1fd3d5af59c84e061887d\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf2\" class=\"wp-smiley lazyload\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f4f2.png\">\u00a0Text Smuggs to 855-421-2279\u202ffor real-time alerts about weather updates, schedule changes, and more!<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/views-from-the-notch\/find-the-shade-follow-the-river\/\">Find the Shade, Follow the River<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\">Smugglers\u2019 Notch Resort Vermont<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conditions &amp; Atmosphere Weather:\u00a0Widespread haze before 1:00 pm.
