Basic Information:
Bantam River is a small, calm
river that flows between Little Pond and
Bantam Lake. Lots of songbirds, vacated beaver dams, water
plants. A very nice quiet place to paddle. Follow the river southwest to
Bantam Lake, which is a small, quiet lake. It's a good fishing spot, so
weekends might be busy here with motorboats, etc. This is a good place to
go if you have limited time/energy and need some quiet.
