About the saugatuck river
The Saugatuck River is a 23-mile-long river located in southwestern Connecticut. The river was named after the Native American tribe that once inhabited the area. It has a watershed area of 64 square miles and is fed by several small tributaries. The river is known for its scenic beauty and has played an important role in the history of the area, serving as a source of power for mills and factories. Today, the river is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. There are several reservoirs along the river, including the Saugatuck Reservoir, which supplies drinking water to the surrounding communities. There are also several dams along the river, including the Aspetuck Dam and the Saugatuck Dam, which help to manage the flow of water and provide hydroelectric power. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, with several farms located along its banks.
