Willimantic Whitewater is a nonprofit dedicated to reviving the Willimantic River.

The Willimantic River Greenway intersects with the Hop River Trail , the Air Line Trail and the East Coast Greenway at several sites that comprise our proposed linear park and arts and recreation hub. These provide hiking, running and cycling activities. 

The Willimantic River watershed is 225 square miles and lies within all or part of 17 towns in Connecticut and Massachusetts. This area provides kayaking and paddle boarding opportunities.

Willimantic Park and open space are vital to the well-being of a community and its residents. Willimantic Whitewater Partnership’s vision includes a linear park system along the Willimantic River. The park is a perfect place to take scenic walks.

Overall we offer something for everyone, whether you prefer running or cycling on scenic trails, or kayaking on the water. Throughout the year, we also hold exciting events like the Willimantic Farmers Market, Riverfest, and Christmas tree sales. Most of all, visitors can enjoy a remarkable view of the river.
