River Description

Source: Greg and Sue Hanlon's Steep Creeks of New England, which has more info on this run. Text used with permission.

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.
