Housatonic

Regarding good flow levels for paddling: We are older, cautious intermediate kayakers who have been paddling from the Falls Village power plant to Housatonic Meadows campground for decades. For us, 1000 cfs at the power plant is a minimum level for good paddling. Below that (maybe as low as 750), from the power plant to the covered bridge is tedious, the covered bridge rapids is pretty tame and technical, and the rest is pretty scrapey (boney, as some say). Below 750, don't even try. A plug: We always go to Clarke Outdoors for shuttles and good information. They seem to be the heart of the paddling community around there. Enjoy!
