Salmon Hole was once a secluded area, far from interaction with humans. Once it was discovered by the Abenaki, it became a source of sustenance. As the years passed and the white man began to take control of things, fish population grew low due to over fishing which is why there are fishing regulations put in place today. The dam that you see there today was placed there in 1992, replacing the previous one that had been set up using timber.
Seeing how over the years it has remained a source of energy and food for the Burlington/Winooski area, it is clear that Salmon Hole is and will remain a key point in the areas ecological and economical environment.
