Welcome to The Salmon Hole on the Winooski River!

For the rest of the semester, I will explore all that the Salmon Hole on the Winooski has to offer! From the flora and fauna to its historical significance to the changes it experiences as the seasons change.

When searching for a site to choose for the phenology project, I stumbled upon this lovely location on the Burlington Wildways website. I loved the idea of studying an area on a river, as I grew up going to the river in my hometown, the James River, practically every day. The changes that happen throughout the year there are very familiar to me, so I look forward to watching the seasonal transitions that happen along the Winooski at Salmon Hole. The beautiful views from this spot made the decision that much easier!

This location is also very convenient; just a quick 20 min walk from campus along Colchester Ave. Once you arrive at the parking lot for the park, a quick walk down to the hill leads you to the rocky river bank.
