Latest field note · Journal lags Vermont calendar: today is Sun, Apr 5, 2026.
Late March still feels like shoulder season at the pools—cold water, quieter banks. If you go, dress for wind in the corridor and read the river before you wade.
Spring water runs cold and fast. Expect short dips, not long swims—and give step-down spots extra care after rain.

Data & sources
- Neighbor nature posts are not a species census; pulse is a loose blend for timing a visit, not land management.
- River clarity and flow use USGS proxy gauges and NWS outlooks—see /legal — data sources.
- Bug watch blends weather with Vermont official layers:VDH · mosquitoesVDH · ticksNot medical advice. “What it may feel like today” is weather- and time-driven; ticks follow season and where you walk. “Around Rock River” is separate—public maps when we can load them.
