Ottauquechee

The Ottauquechee rises in the Green Mountains and flows eastward through the hills to join the Connecticut River. Its course carries water from mountain streams, including the North Branch, into the broader valley below. Near Quechee the river passes through a deep gorge, cut into the rocky land before it reaches the Connecticut. The wooded watershed forms one of the many eastward passages from the high ground of Vermont to the great river.
