Onion River Ramble 

For 2024, it's a paddle for the Ramblers among us: shorter than in the past, with no rapids, and no time-keeping. 

The Onion River Ramble is a ~5-mile paddle from the Long Trail Access to Richmond on Vermont's Winooski River. 

Following the paddle, participants can enjoy lunch at the Richmond Town park. 

Important Info re 2024 Shuttling: 

Everyone did such a great job at self-shuttling last year, we want to reduce our reliance on the vans, and encourage you to organize your own shuttling again. Thank you!

1. Please drop off your boat(s) and check-in at the Long Trail Access. 
2. One team member will then drive to Richmond to park your vehicle. Parking is located in Richmond at the Richmond Town Hall lot. 
3. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR AT LONG TRAIL, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING BACK TO YOUR CAR AFTER THE EVENT. 
4. Umiak is generously providing a shuttle, which will make two runs from Richmond to the Long Trail Access. If you can organize with friends to shuttle each other, that will help reduce pressure on our shuttle. Priority for the shuttle will be given to paddlers who register by June 3. Paddlers registering from 6/4 on: Please make a plan to have your own ride back to the put-in.  Please arrive early to allow enough time.
