In 1994, the upper 14 miles of the Farmington River in Connecticut were designated a Wild and Scenic River. The lower reach of the Farmington River is rich in recreational, historical, and bilogical values and has an important tributary, the Salmon Brook, also noted to be among the state's most significant coldwater resources. The Farminton River Watershed Association (FRWA) led the effort to pursue congressional authorization for a Wild and Scenic Study of the lower Farmington and Salmon Brook. |
