The Patterson is a small brook, originating in the mountains of Worcester, Vermont, and flowing into the North Branch of the Winooski river. It is often mistakenly referred to as Shady Rill. Flowing over igneous rock, it is low in plantlife, and supports only small populations of salamanders and insect larvae. Nevertheless, each spring it is stocked with 2000 large brook trout, and hosts the Shady Rill children's fishing derby.
