Connecticut River Towpath
May. 23rd, 2008 06:13 pm
This is the canal that runs parallel to the Connecticut River in Suffield Connecticut. It was built so that barges could bypass the Enfield rapids. Between the canal and the river was a tow path on which mules or some other beasts of burden would walk as they towed the barges down to Windsor Locks. Today it's a pleasant place to walk, go fishing, and see birds.
