I'm planning a trip over labor day down the Connecticut river on the Connecticut section with friends and want to know some additional details! We are really excited to do this as Connecticut natives! We are hoping to put canoes in at Charter Oak Landing, camp at River Highlands and then either canoe to and camp at Hurd, Chapman Pond, or Gillette the next night. I'm really interested in the feasibility of canoeing from River Highlands to Chapman Pond in one day!
