Pomperaug River Description

POMPERAUG RIVER, Southbury-Woodbury Intermittent sections from the junction of the Nonewaug and Weekeepeemee rivers near Route 47 in Woodbury to 1/4 mile below Route 172 in Southbury. TROPHY TROUT STREAM Entire river in Woodbury and Southbury (from near Route 47 to the confluence with Lake Zoar): Trout: Daily creel limit-2. Across from Newtown in the north side of Lake Zoar is the mouth of the Pomperaug River in the Town of Southbury. Landmarks just downstream are the two bridges carrying Interstate 84 over the Housatonic River. It is a paddle distance of about 1.06 miles downstream from the Glen Road Bridge to the first I-84 bridge (Rochambeau Bridge). SPECIAL CONDITIONS: It may be possible for paddlers to paddle up the Pomperaug River to a shopping center for restaurants and evening concerts. Feasibility of such a possibility depends upon the depth of the River, strength of current, obstacles etc. Put in and/ or take out ramps may be possible along the Pomperaug if Southbury is supportive of the idea. SOUTHBURY TOWN BEACH RAMP Access is via River Road, just west of the bridge over the Pomperaug River. There is a sandy beach, swings, lifeguards in the summer, and the possibility for easy access for a canoe or kayak. The Pomperaug River originates in Woodbury, Connecticut and merges with the Housatonic at Southbury. Its watershed is almost 89 square miles.
