We speak for the river!
The Scantic River Watershed
The Scantic River Watershed encompasses around 90,000 acres in the towns of Hampden, MA, Stafford, Somers, Enfield, Ellington, East Windsor
and South Windsor CT, where it drains into the Connecticut River. The river rises in the hills of Stafford CT, fed by tributary streams, several
which are classified as AA, or suitable for drinking. Overall the Scantic spans some 38 miles in length, twisting and turning on its path to the
Connecticut River through some of the finest agricultural lands in the country.
