About the hockanum river
The Hockanum River is located in Connecticut and flows for approximately 20 miles from Manchester to East Hartford before emptying into the Connecticut River. The river has a rich history, having been used for transportation, as a source of power for mills and factories, and as a dumping site for industrial waste. Today, the river is a popular destination for recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking. There are several dams and reservoirs along the river, including the Bolton Notch Pond, East Hartford Reservoir, and the Lower Hockanum Reservoir. These reservoirs provide drinking water for the surrounding communities and also serve as recreational areas for boating and fishing. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, with several farms located along its banks.
