At Hammonasset State Park in coastal CT. I have been enjoying this daily for a while now. Better than TV & no commercials! Live cam. 1st egg seen April 20 (last year it was April 19), 2nd egg early April 23.
The Bear Slides on Butternut Brook is a half mile hike from the river at Darlings Ford. In summer, tubing is popular in the 2nd half of this trip. Oct 20, 2021 - Hadley gauge at 3.8' - a very nice level. Sunny & temp rising into the lower 70s. Some very nice fall foliage in the yellow/orange range but past peak for reds. Moving water, fast water, riffles up to 1' - the current made it easy to keep a 3.5-4mph pace. Steep hills on both sides. Bald eagles, lots of Canada geese, a lone merganser. 14.5 miles, 5 hours (incl an hour-long lunch break near 1000 Acres Ranch). However, what may have been a perfect day of paddling was diminished by a reminder that not all folks are having an awesome day - enough said - details below but BE WARNED , it ain't pretty . *After paddling downstream for 10 minutes, we spotted some debris on river R that looked like some clothing, a dummy, or something. After a closer look, it was determined to be a de...
June 2021 - The carry to Henderson Lake is now 0.1 miles longer because the old parking area has been closed & there is a new parking area that is a bit further south. Sep 14, 2014 - HENDERSON LAKE. Easy 0.3 mile carry from Upper Works trailhead. Explored the S inlet, Santanoni Brook & Indian Pass Brook. Awesome High Peaks views. Foliage ~20% change, mostly red & purple maples. Very little wildlife, no bad bugs. Saw just 1 kayak & 2 pack canoes. 7.8 miles, 4.4 hours. Aug 4 & 5, 2013 - HENDERSON LAKE, PRESTON PONDS, DUCK HOLE canoe camping, from Upper Works trailhead Sunday: Wheeled canoe & gear (incl. comfy chair) 0.3 mi. to the put-in on Henderson Checked out all 3 designated campsites (none occupied) before deciding on the southeasterly one. Campsites have fire ring & thunderbox. The site on W shore is further S than shown on the map at the put-in - it's lousy anyway. After setting up ...
Kayaderosseras Creek and Lake Lonely Outlet. The Kayaderosseras is a lovely meandering lowland stream. The 3-mile stretch between the Northway (I-87) and Saratoga Lake is often paddled, and a side trip up and down Lake Lonely Outlet can add another couple of miles. A good access point is a small beach at Waterfront Park on Crescent Ave. This does require paddling along the north side of Saratoga Lake for a half mile to reach the mouth of the “K” - this may be undesirable on a windy day or during the height of the motorboating season. An alternate put-in, just upstream from the mouth of the creek, can be found at the Arrowhead Casino Archaeological Preserve at the end of Arrowhead Road, 0.7 miles from Crescent Ave. You will have to carry your boat along a trail for up to 200 yards and it is likely to be muddy, although possibly less so slightly downstream to the left. For a fee, one can launch at the boat shop on Crescent Avenue where the road crosses over Lake Lonely Outlet. One c...
