Located in the hills of northwestern Connecticut, Bulls Bridge on the Housatonic River holds some of the most challenging rapids and the most beautiful scenery in the state. Putting in under a covered bridge just downstream of a class V cataract, You'll quickly enter the flume where the water races around a sharp bend and over a seven-foot ledge, emerging as froth and waves below. S-turn is next with a tight move over a ledge, which is immediately followed by Pencil Sharpener where grabby holes reach for the boat. Below, easier rapids lead to Powerhouse hole and the takeout rapid. After lunch next to the covered bridge at the put-in, you'll challenge the run for the second time, perfecting lines for the ultimate spring whitewater experience.
