The Trout River is a tributary of the Missisquoi River, flowing successively in municipalities of Montgomery, in Enosburg and in East Berkshire, in Franklin County, in northern Vermont in the United States.
The Trout River Valley is served by North Main Street (VT 118) passing on the northeast bank of the river. While the upper part is served by Jay Mountain Road (route 242) (north side of the river) and by Hazens Notch Road (route 58) on the south side.
The surface of the Trout River is generally frozen from mid-December to mid-March, with the exception of the rapids; however, safe circulation on the ice generally takes place from late December to early March.
