About the naugatuck river
The Naugatuck River is a 40-mile-long river that flows through western Connecticut. It has a rich history, having been used for transportation and industry since colonial times. The river rises in Torrington and flows through several towns, including Waterbury and Naugatuck, before emptying into the Housatonic River in Derby. The river's hydrology has been modified by numerous dams and reservoirs, including the Thomaston Dam and the Shepaug Dam. These structures have created recreational opportunities, such as fishing and boating. Additionally, the river provides water for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering. Despite its industrial past, the Naugatuck River has undergone significant cleanup efforts in recent years to improve water quality and restore its natural habitat for fish and wildlife.
