Navigating The Connecticut River

• A new and dressed-up edition of "The Connecticut River Boating Guide" has just been published, and if you're planning to explore an unfamiliar stretch of the Connecticut anywhere from the Canadian border to Long Island Sound, the guide is a must-have. Every boat launch top to bottom is identified. Every dam is here - all 16 of them - and every commercial or primitive campground along the way. For canoeists and kayakers, every place where a portage is necessary is identified. The guide is literally a mile-by-mile description of the river, identifying landmarks and other points of interest, from covered bridges to the remains of old logging cribs, along with any potential boating hazards.
