Below Route 6 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 0.5 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The Below Route 6 stretch of Quinebaug River in Connecticut is 0.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. No need to look hard for hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This stretch is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend
hours on the river in one stretch. The scenic beauty of Windham County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. The starting point is not too far from Willimantic, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further
down the page. The Below Route 6 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Quinebaug River. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here.
