Hoosic River is a public river in Bennington County, Vermont, managed by State of Vermont (public / navigable water). You can fish it on a Vermont fishing licence; bank access is at bridge crossings, VTFW access points and public parks. Vermont riverbeds are private property up to the ordinary high-water mark except on a few federally-declared-navigable reaches, so wading or bank fishing away from a public access point needs the landowner's permission. Public access confirmed via public-trust river.

Boats: Most Vermont rivers (the Winooski, White, Lamoille, Missisquoi and the Green Mountain trout streams) are waded or floated by canoe, kayak or drift boat; the Connecticut River takes larger boats in its lower, wider reaches.
