Jeremy River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the river in Saint Lucia, see Jeremy River (Saint Lucia).
The Jeremy River, named after Jeremy Adams, begins at a drainage just north of Holbrook Pond about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Gilead, Connecticut and runs for 10.7 miles (17.2 km) to the Salmon River.[1] There are many swamps and marshes along the banks of its northern end, the largest of which is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long.
There is a popular paddling route along the Jeremy River that begins at Old Hartford Road just north of Route 2 about 3 miles (5 km) west-northwest of Colchester. The 2.5-mile (4.0 km) route has solid Class II whitewater throughout the run and ends at the Salmon River; however, many paddlers continue along the Salmon River paddling route.
