Hammonasset River Description

The Hammonasset River is formed about 4 miles southeast of Durham, Connecticut along a gulley on the north end of Bunker Hill at about a half mile northeast of the junction of Route 148 and Bunker Hill Road. The river travels for about 20 miles to Clinton Harbor along Long Island Sound just east of Hammonasset Beach State Park. A popular paddling route runs for about 10 miles starting along Summer Hill Road about 2.5 miles south on Route 79 from North Madison, Connecticut. This is a scenic river run with mostly flat and quickwater, but with a few Class I-II whitewater areas.
