I'd like to gather an informal list of members from western Connecticut, southwestern Massachusetts and the mid-Hudson valley region of New York who may be interested in day trips in those areas. We have several members in that geography, and with some interesting canoes.

I envision that anyone with a trip idea, whether long-planned or spontaneous, could DM the group to see if anyone else is available. In the past, @Cheeseandbeans, @Brightraven, @Ripple and probably others I've forgotten have taken trips in the general area. Please chime in if this interests you. For the first time in many years I've paddled with some groups of open canoeists this summer, and have really appreciated the companionship and commonality of interest.

Sounds great! I live in CT and try and get out on day paddles and trips as much as possible. Great to meet up. Josh V
 
I appreciate the positive responses.

I know @Brightraven works on Saturdays and I assume others might work on Mondays, so Sundays may be the the best day. Because I'm probably going to be out of town in late September and early October, I don't want to waste time planning. So, I'm going to paddle round trip from the Lake Lillinonah Pond Brook boat launch this Sunday, September 1, at 10 am.

This trip is announced in its own thread here:

NW CT Flatwater Day Trip, Sunday 9/1/25

I will be paddling this Sunday, September 1, on a 9.5 mile round trip out of the Lake Lillinonah Pond Brook boat launch, which is at 158 Hanover Road, Newtown, Connecticut. I know there is water there, all flat water, and the weather is supposed to be good. The trip goes down Pond Brook Stream...

I'll DM everyone who has responded to this thread about this trip.

I'll also be paddling somewhere in the very general NW CT region on Sunday, September 8, and I'll announce where once I figure something out. Suggestions are welcome.
