The idea of a riverside park at the confluence of the North Branch and mainstem of the Winooski Rivers in downtown Montpelier has been a dream for many residents and city officials for almost three decades. The Vermont River Conservancy (VCR) is a partner with the city to move this idea forward and have a place for residents and visitors along the shores of these rivers, to launch a boat, cast a fishing line, or sit on a bench and enjoy all that our rivers have to offer.
