Chaplin Road Longitude:
72.092985 W Latitude: 41.866223 N On The Water: The river is a
small tributary of the
Natchuag River – which
should be paddled in the spring. The river is mostly Class II – but
watch out for downed trees. You can start at Westford Road in Eastford
which runs along side the river. For 3 miles you flow through easy rapids.
You’ll probably hit some large rocks and small drops along the way
flowing into deep pools. None of the rapids are too difficult unless
you come across fallen trees. Take out at the US 44 bridge or continue a mile down to the Natchuag River – where you can take out near Connecticut Route 198 – 1.25 miles after US 44 at Charlie Brown Camp Ground
