Riverton - June 26, 2021

Six paddlers from five states (RI, MA, CT, NY and NJ) representing 4 clubs (HRCK, RICKA, AMC-CT, AMC-NY/NJ) in a wide range of boats met at a central location in CT to do the 11-mile run on the Farmington River from Riverton to Satan’s Kingdom.

Bill and I arrived early and took a walk down to the Satan’s Kingdom rapid – brought back memories of hanging out down there with Matt and Scott. We put-in below the Goodwin Dam off Hogback Road, and took out at the parking lot at the Satan’s Kingdom State Recreation Area – about 11 miles. The river was running low - 300 cfs from Goodwin Dam and 35 cfs from the Still River. We spent most of our time dodging rocks and trying to avoid the shallow spots. Still a nice day.
