Directions: From Westfield, MA, take Rte. 202 South to Rte. 57 West. Follow 57 through
Granville and West Granville. About 11 miles from 202, Rte. 57 crosses Hubbard Brook. Park in the
pulloff just after crossing the river and put in here.
Takeout: head East on Rte. 57 and take your first right onto West Hartland Road, toward Granville
State Forest. Continue through the state forest, crossing Hubbard Brook to Rte. 20. Turn left
onto Rte. 20 West and continue until it crosses Hubbard Brook. Just after the brook is a gated
road on the left, which follows Hubbard Brook upstream. The takeout is just up this road, by the
USGS gaging station.
Do not paddle past the gage house onto Bakhamsted Reservoir, which is operated by the Connecticut MDC for water supply. They apparently think you're gonna pee in their water.
