Shetucket River NRT – Greeneville Dam to Howard T. Brown Memorial Park: Parking for a few cars is located off Roosevelt Ave on a dirt access road adjacent to river by the river information kiosk. Access river through the woods or carry 1,000 feet to the launch area below the dam. This 2 mile section takes you through a popular fishing area and away from Greeneville Dam’s fish lift, which allows migratory fish to move upstream from Long Island Sound & the Thames River into the Shetucket. Paddle through the City of Norwich, past the East Main St. Bridge and to Brown Memorial Park where the Yantic & Shetucket Rivers combine to form the Thames River. Take out in Brown Memorial Park. No fee.
