Shepaug River
The Shepaug River is a 22.6-mile-long river that runs through western Connecticut. It was designated as a Wild and Scenic River in 1994 due to its historical and ecological significance. The river begins in Warren and flows through several towns before joining the Housatonic River in Southbury. Its hydrology is influenced by four reservoirs: the Shepaug Dam, Housatonic River Dam, Lake Lillinonah, and Lake Zoar. These reservoirs also provide hydroelectric power to the region. The Shepaug River has a rich agricultural history, with many farms located along its banks. It is also popular for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking along the river's scenic trails.
