Salmon Hole is a fishing spot in the Winooski River. I chose this for my phenology spot because it is close to campus and has a mix of forest and river landscapes. To get to Salmon Hole, look for the parking lot off Riverside Avenue. There is a marked trail down to Salmon Hole from the parking lot.
Vegetation
Walking down to the river, there is a buffer of trees and shrubs. I saw patches of wild strawberries and a few larger ash trees. As we got closer to the river, the vegetation became more shrubby with a lot of Riverbank Grapes and sumac. There was a gorgeous black cherry tree on the walk-in just above the staircase to get down to the edge of the river. The rocks along the edge of the river were very interesting looking. They had deep grooves and were very smooth.
