Connecticut's premier nature paddle — the Bantam River flows from Bantam Lake through the White Memorial Conservation Center, the state's largest nature center and wildlife sanctuary. Gentle Class I water winds through marshes, beaver ponds, and old-growth forest. The White Memorial Foundation protects 4,000 acres of habitat along the river — birding, wildlife viewing, and solitude minutes from Litchfield village.

Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level.
