CT: New London County- Old Lyme- Lieutenant River (Summer Kayaking)

Launched Off of Route 156 in Old Lyme, Connecticut, which is the Lieutenant River State Boat launch for car top boats.

Per Wikipedia, the Lieutenant River is a 3.7-mile-long (6.0 km)[1] tidal river located in Old Lyme, Connecticut. It joins the Connecticut River in the estuary, just above the point where that river flows into Long Island Sound.

The Lieutenant River is popular among artists and photographers. A number of American impressionist artists, including Childe Hassam, painted views of the river while staying at the Florence Griswold House in Old Lyme.[3][4]

The Florence Griswold Museum was designed with windows that have sweeping views of the Lieutenant River.

Paddling through reflecting high reeds of grass trying to photo capture the heron and watched as an osprey fed his young.

In addition to the Florence Griswold Museum, you can also stop by Studio 80 Sculpture Grounds to see or purchase uniquely designed sculptures and is a lovely post paddle walk.
