Quinebaug River Description
I fish here some times if I dont wana drive far, its right across the street to were I live.
QUINEBAUG RIVER, Thompson to Norwich (T SMB S CB WP) Intermittent sections from the Massachusetts line to the Shetucket River. Children’s Area: Within Putnam Town Park. Fishing restricted to children under 16. Season: Open 3rd Saturday in April-November 30. The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley or northeastern Connecticut and south-central Massachusetts has been called "The Last Green Valley" in the sprawling metropolitan Boston-to-Washington corridor. At night the region appears distinctively dark amid the urban and suburban glow when viewed from satellites or aircraft. In the daytime, the green fields and forests confirm the surprisingly rural character of the 1,085 square-mile area defined by the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers systems and the rugged hills that surround them. The Last Green Valley is half the size of Grand Canyon National Park and more than ten times that of Acadia, the largest national park in the northeast. Forest and farmland make up more than 70% of its 695,000-acres, yet it lies only an hour from 3 of New England's 4 largest urban areas. Its 300,000 inhabitants reside only 2 1/2 hours from 25 million people. This relatively undeveloped rural island in the midst of the most urbanized region in the nation makes it a resource of local, regional, and national importance. Many things make The Last Green Valley special. It boasts: 2 of the most scenic and productive river systems in New England More than 80 ponds and lakes with exceptional water qualities and habitats 7 state forests, including the largest in Connecticut 16 state wildlife management areas 5 state parks composed of thousands of acres More than 130 miles of trails, including the East Coast Greenway, a National Millennium Trail. The presence of moose, black bear, fishers, sea lamprey - species of animals returning after no presence for generations.
The Quinebaug River is a river in south-central Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut, with watershed extending into western Rhode Island.
