Took a little trip up to Swanton, VT this week to get Betty the dog groomed. While waiting, I took the drone out for a little travel flight. Vermont is home to many small rivers, creeks, and waterfalls in addition to numerous lakes.
The bridge and waterfall pictured here is over the Missisquoi River. The Missisquoi river is about 80 miles long and drains from the Green Mountains into Lake Champlain. It is frequented by kayakers in the warmer weather. According to the Department of Conservation, it has over 70 waterfalls, the highest being "Big Falls" which is over 35 foot drop.
This one at Swanton of course is nowhere near that tall.
According to the U.S. translation of the Abenaki word, it means "where there is flint", and there is an old chert quarry near Missisquoi bay of Lake Champlain.
According to the Canadian translation, it means "multitudes of water birds".
The trees are still budding out and not yet green, but the grass is already believing it is spring.
And a nice little video flyover of the waterfall close up from just below the falls, and the higher level across the bridge view.
