Connecticut's largest tree. It's at the RT-185 put-in location (Farmington River trip)
Farmington River from RT-185 to RT-4 and back. (8-1-2010, 20.5 miles, 7 hr 20min). Lots of wildlife. We saw: Turkey Vultures eating a deer carcass, Red Tail Hawks, Green Heron, Great Blue Heron, Great White Egret, Kingfishers, Turkey, Ducks or various kinds, turtles, spotted a few fish, but not many, and some sort of sand piper or two.
There's the dam beaver! (Scantic River trip)
