Recreation in the Willimantic River Watershed

Paddling

A canoeing and kayaking route extends for 24 miles down the river, and includes nine public launches and two landings.

The river and its tributaries offer prime fishing year-round.

Riverside parks offer public access & historic sites along the Willimantic River (some with handicapped access).

For a longer hike or bike ride, head out on one of the multi-town trails in the Willimantic River watershed.

Take along a guide to walks and rides (by bike or car) along the river and its tributaries.

This outdoor activity is fun for the whole family.
