A Reach of 10.15 miles. This is the\u00a0last of CT River that is affected by tides all the way in from Long Island Sound. The entry\u00a0point is the Kings Island Boat launch at about river mile 62.5. It is just below the breached\u00a0Thomasville or Enfield Dam. The dam effectively stops the tide action. The river is full of\u00a0surprises\u2014this area is known for fast current and riffles for miles with very shallow water.<\/p>\n<p>The current is helpful but adds to the challenge as the river is very shallow from side to side\u00a0with a very stony bottom and not much swimmable water even though it is 200+ yards across. The only way to swim is to not fight the current or the sharp rocks-using hands to stay\u00a0off the jagged and rough bottom. There is no more than a foot of water for almost a two mile\u00a0stretch. I am surprised that I did not tear my wet suit. By the way I was in the water at 5:00\u00a0AM with 55 degree air and water temperature. One caution on this-I did not wear gloves for\u00a0this stretch-but I should have!!<\/p>\n<p>Once below this stretch, it is easier to enjoy the wildlife-eagles, and so on. Mostly, it is very\u00a0remote and quiet-great time to think about the meaning of life and how hungry I was going\u00a0to be at the end. There are so many islands and the water eventually becomes flat although\u00a0still running quickly. And there are the remnants of what the locals call \u201cIndian Dams\u201d.\u00a0These are from the distant past prior to the building of control dams. They are not all the\u00a0way across the river but rather come out from shore and then curve upstream to what must\u00a0have been a type of weir to trap fish. Simple piled rocks that still break the surface at lower\u00a0tides.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-5076\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/96836CAB-8F38-4239-9B3E-A12643575B72-e1467052139284-212x300.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/96836CAB-8F38-4239-9B3E-A12643575B72-e1467052139284-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"96836CAB-8F38-4239-9B3E-A12643575B72\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27212%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20212%20300%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27212%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/96836CAB-8F38-4239-9B3E-A12643575B72-e1467052139284-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/96836CAB-8F38-4239-9B3E-A12643575B72-e1467052139284.jpg 339w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>Fishing- Striped Bass (ocean going) have now been caught this far inland along with Shad,\u00a0Bass, and other species. The River is very healthy in spite of municipal street run off.<\/p>\n<p>The river is shallow most of this reach but the bottom does become more manageable with\u00a0sandy-silty clay like with no rocks. There are multiple reminders of the early industrial times\u00a0when water power was king. Also, the Windsor Lock system is maintained as well, to show\u00a0how transport of goods in the local area was accomplished. The region is now mostly known\u00a0for a large regional airport (Bradley Field) and the one mainstay crop that has lasted for\u00a0centuries-tobacco. Not just any kind of tobacco-it is the wrapper tobacco used worldwide for\u00a0high quality cigars\u2014this includes Cuban cigars. It seems the tobacco trade found a way to get\u00a0annual harvests to Cuba by shipping elsewhere first. Where I live, it is a poorly kept secret.\u00a0So much for a trade embargo.<\/p>\n<p>Time in the water for the entire non-stop 10 miles was 3 hours-50 minutes. Current is likely\u00a0to be about 1 + MPH. Some kayaks, canoes and a few small fishing boats all had difficulty\u00a0with the shallow water. At full high tide it is only about 1 foot higher but still with a current.\u00a0However, when factoring in the width of the river, and the \u201cdrop\u201d that causes the drain or\u00a0ebb tide, the combination lets you know who is in charge-so hang on for the ride!<\/p>\n<p>Next, I will leave the State of CT by starting just above Springfield, MA and exiting above the\u00a0breached dam at Thomasville, CT. Then work my way to Brattleboro, VT over a few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Periodically throughout the summer we will be featuring accounts from long distance swimmer, Rick Wright.
