Still River Description

STILL RIVER, Winsted-Colebrook-Barkhamsted Intermittent sections in Winsted and from Sandy Brook to Farmington River. Trout: 9” Minimum length downstream of confluence with the Mad River. STILL RIVER, Eastford-Woodstock. Intermittent sections from Route 171 to the Natchaug River. STILL RIVER, Danbury. From Eagle Street downstream through the town linear park. The Still River is a tributary to the Housatonic River. Its source lies in two small ponds in eastern New York in the hamlet of Milltown within the town of Southeast. It meanders through Sanford's Pond and Lake Kenosia in Danbury, Connecticut before it forms into a concrete aqueduct near the downtown Danbury area. It then turns north and becomes a more conventional river as it cuts through Brookfield, Connecticut and southern New Milford, Connecticut before joining with the Housatonic River. Unfortunately, as a result of pollution from discontinued hat factories in Danbury, the Still River has a high concentration of mercury.

The Still River is a tributary to the Housatonic River. Its headwaters emanate from Farrington's pond on the NY-CT border in Danbury, CT. It meanders through Sanford's Pond and Lake Kenosia in Danbury, Connecticut before it flows into a concrete aqueduct near the downtown Danbury area. It then turns north and becomes a more conventional river as it cuts through Brookfield, Connecticut and southern New Milford, Connecticut before joining with the Housatonic River. The river was essentially dead in the 1980s, but after Danbury constructed a new sewage treatment plant in 1993 the river rebounded. Many species of fish can now be found, and kayak ramps have been installed downriver from Danbury. Unfortunately, as a result of pollution from discontinued hat factories in Danbury, the Still River has a high concentration of mercury.
