About the coginchaug river


The Coginchaug River is a 20.2-mile-long river in Connecticut, USA. It was important in the development of colonial New England, as it was used for transportation and agriculture. The river is fed by multiple small streams and flows through several towns, including Durham, Middletown, and Middlefield, before joining the Mattabesset River. The river's hydrology has been affected by several reservoirs and dams, including the Powder Hill Reservoir, the Beseck Lake Reservoir, and the Coginchaug Reservoir, which were built in the early 20th century to provide water for Middletown and surrounding towns. These reservoirs also provide opportunities for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking. The Coginchaug River has also been important for agriculture, as it provides irrigation water for nearby farms.
