Naugatuck Waterbury to Beacon Falls
Report
| Account | This is the section that has been run recently as the Naugatuck River Race and Festival. It is mainly class 1 and 2 and has a lot of wave trains and well spaced rapids. The first rapid is definitely the hardest probably class II plus. Very scenic believe it or not, the highway and train tracks run along it the whole way so it is very noisy though. This river has cleaned up a lot. Put in at the Platts Mill section of South Waterbury off of rt 8 exit 29. We parked in back of the Brass City restaurant and crossed the road below it to put in. The take out is in Beacon Falls, exit 24 below the metal bridge on Depot Street. There is a metro north train station to park at across the street. The put in I mention here is slightly above the race put in and includes this sections toughest rapid almost immediately so be prepared for a class 2 plus rapid right off the bat. I ran it at four feet which was a great level I have heard of it being run as low as 2 and a half. |
