On Saturday, August 23, I took a day trip with two kayakers on Winchester Lake and then Stillwater Pond, both in the northwest corner of Connecticut. Some photos.

Winchester Lake is beautiful. It flows into Park Pond which flows into Stillwater. This was the backup water supply for Collinsville Axe factory when the Farmington River was running low many years ago. There are some old growth stumps that can still be seen in Park Pond when it was clear cut and flooded/damed.
You had some lovely weather yesterday!

Almost. The East Branch of the Naugatuck River flows from Winchester to Park, but not into Stillwater. The West Branch Naugatuck flows into Stillwater. Here is the inflow of the West Branch under SR 272 into Stillwater, which is now unfortunately about 1/3 choked with milfoil it its shallows.
