We will be launching at Southington at the Route 322 canoe launch. This small river twists and turns through a densely wooded area and passes through some residential areas down to the red bridge in Meriden. There are some class one rapids and some fast water. Depending on the water level, it may be scratchy in a few spots. We may have to portage around a log or 2. I’ll check it out in the week before the trip. This is a beautiful trip, but you must have some paddling skills. It’s at the very least intermediate level. I can bring several canoes or kayaks back to the launch at the end of the trip, but would like a volunteer or 2 to help out.

Meeting Location Details

Near the corner of Honey Pot Rd and Meriden Waterbury Turnpike/Route 322.

There’s a large parking area provided by the state of Connecticut. I will be parked right along the edge of Route 322 and the bridge going over the river. Kayaks and canoes will be visible from the road.
