Chittenden Dam Jul 21, 2014

A flotilla of colorful watercraft dot the sparkling surface at Chittenden Dam.

It’s a recreational oasis on any given summer day.

Especially the nice ones.

Like they have been lately.

With more to come.

As some of you know, we have done several short videos since launching A Day in Vermont in March 2013.

I’ll continue to share the Vermont experience of painting with occasional videos moving forward.

And you know what?

It feels like you’re right out there with me with the camera rolling.

We have added a new Video section to the website, so now you can find them easily and view anytime.

Enjoy, and have a great Day in Vermont!

Peter

    This is a different view of our beloved water wonder. We have enjoyed this special place for 50 years and you have captured it beautifully. Thank you, Carol Mina

  • Peter Huntoon says:

    Thanks Carol. Yes, for anyone who grew up around Rutland, Chittenden Dam has been a go-to outdoor adventure hot spot.

    Chittenden Dam was my backyard playground growing up…The point that you depicted was actually owned by my grandfather and to locals is known as Congdons Point. He built a camp on that point…which was destroyed by fire in the early 40′ s. This is where I fished with my dad, learned to swim and spent warm Summer evenings on the water listening to the calls of the loons.! Majestic !

    Oops…spellcheck certainly had its own way with the word Chittenden !

      I fixed it Dayle, it sounded a bit Irish! Thanks very much for the comment. I fished here with my dad as well. Lot’s of great memories.
