Outdoor Recreational Resources C H a P T E R 4
Connecticut River Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan June 2016 Outdoor Recreational Resources C H A P T E R 4 Connecticut River Scenic Byway Introduction The Connecticut River Scenic Byway area has a wealth of outdoor recreational resources. There are activities for all seasons which create diverse opportunities for recreation. During the winter there are opportunities to cross-country ski and snowshoe, while spring provides warmer weather for hiking and biking. Summer is an excellent time to fish and paddle on the Connecticut River, and autumn provides opportunities to view the Byway’s spectacular foliage. This chapter details the outdoor recreational resources along the Byway, and discusses potential issues and concerns that could affect the quality of these resources over time. The chapter concludes with recommendations to protect, maintain, and enhance the Byway’s recreational resources. Resources located directly on or within a half-mile radius of the Connecticut River Scenic Byway are noted with this roadway symbol. While the Corridor Management Plan focuses on resources that are located within a half mile of the Connecticut River Scenic Byway, this chapter also includes recreational attractions that are outside of the study area boundary, but within the towns along the Byway. The activities at each site are shown in italics. Resources with recreational access for people of all abilities (universal access) are noted with this symbol. More information on sites with universal access is located on page 25. State Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, and Other Open Spaces Multiple Towns along the Byway Connecticut River Greenway State Park (Northfield, Sunderland, Hadley, South Hadley, and Hatfield) The Connecticut River Greenway is one of Massachusetts' newest State Parks. -
