We had a great trip! First day, Canaan to Colebrook, second day Bloomfield to Maidstone, third day Maidstone to Guildhall. (no water was as challenging as the junkyard rapids near Waterbury, but we purposely didn't do the Colebrook to Bloomfield stretch.)

Lots of eagles, mergansers, sandpipers, Canada geese and no other paddlers.

A fabulous, longlasting thunderstorm (3 1/2 hours!!!) on our second afternoon and evening cemented our appreciation of being in a state park.

The put ins and take outs were well marked. We found the Bloomfield one - A little mouse greeted Molly as she opened the sign-in book there.

Someone has bought and is fixing up the Guildhall general store building which will hopefully help that area be more friendly to travelers. There was nowhere in that town to buy a soda!

Otherwise we are enamored of our river and all that you have done to make paddling accessible.
