mm 18.0 The new Thundering Brook relocation replaces a road walk west (trail south) of River Road. This reroute required a footbridge (seen in picture) across the Ottauquechee River and an extensive boardwalk to cross the flood plain.

Boardwalk across the flood plain of the Ottauquechee River. The red building in the picture has a sign on it as the Killington Hydroelectric Company, so apparently it was once a mill or small electricity generating plant. This is at the base of Thundering Brook Falls. Taken at approx. mm 18.2.
