I revisited a favorite paddling spot today with some friends from the Paddle Killingly Meetup Group.  It’s the Salmon River, down in Moodus, CT. 

Access is from Sunrise State Park.  Big name, but a neglected place.  It’s the site of a former resort.  The property has been owned by the state for a decade and open to the public for only a few years.  There still isn’t even a sign out on the road, so not many folks know about the place. That’s what makes it a nice quiet place to meet with friends and go paddling.

There are three prongs to my paddles here. One is upstream to the falls and fish ladder up at Route 151 at Leesburg. The second is downstream and up Pine Brook as far as I can get and the third is a bit further downstream and up the Moodus River as far as I can get.
