One of my other buys at the Collinsville Kayak Store, was a book, " Quiet Water Massachusetts, Connecticut & Rhode Island" by Wilson and Hayes. It is a wonderful book with info of flatwater paddling locations. On the way back to NY we checked out the Bantam River, the launch pictured here.
Will definitely come back here- next weekend hopefully.
Crossed the Housatonic River also , definitely worth checking out.
The trip back from Ct was excellent, We went all the way on local routes, and the country at this time of the year was beautiful.
Continue further west in New York and you'll find loads of gorgeous rivers, streams, lakes and ponds to flat water paddle using the guidebooks "Take A Paddle - Finger Lakes New York Quiet Water for Canoes & Kayaks" and "Take A Paddle - Western New York Quiet Water for Canoes & Kayaks." Both are by Rich & Sue Freeman.
