Winooski

Winooski refers to two related geographic features in Vermont, United States: the city of Winooski in Chittenden County, and the Winooski River, a northward-flowing river that drains much of central Vermont and empties into Lake Champlain. The city sits just north of Burlington and is part of the greater Burlington metropolitan area. The name is derived from the Abenaki language.

Winooski, Vermont, is a small city located along the Winooski River. It developed as an industrial center in the 19th and early 20th centuries and retains a historic mill district along the river. Today it features a compact downtown with restaurants, shops, and housing, and is known for redevelopment and cultural events.

The Winooski River has historically powered mills and supported communities along its course. It flows through central and northern Vermont and reaches Lake Champlain. The river provides recreational opportunities and habitat for wildlife, and it remains an important geographical feature in the region.
