Blackledge River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blackledge River begins 2.5 miles (4.0 km) southeast of Manchester, Connecticut just north of Route 534 in a gully near Converse Road. The Blackledge runs for 16.4 miles (26.4 km)[1] until it flows into the Salmon River. A popular whitewater paddling route begins at West Road about 4 miles (6 km) south of Gay City State Park. There are frequent Class I-II whitewater rapids throughout the route to the Salmon River.
The Blackledge River Railroad Bridge is a historic bridge that crosses the river.
