This site 24 is about 30 from the Housatonic River.

This was taken at the Housatonic Meadows Campground.

Lowest water level in many years.

The lowest level seen in years due to the draught in 2010 according to the local residents.

This shot of the moon was captured looking east across the Housatonic River from the campground.

The Housatonic River runs right next to this camping Park.

Hatch Brook Falls is short drive north of Housatonic Meadows Campground. Park and take the blue blazed trail next to the cascading brook. The Appalachian Trail intersects the Blue Trail at the top of this hike.

This photograph gives you an idea of how close the campground is to the Housatonic River.

A pleasant sight when we drove to our camping spot were these shaggy mane mushrooms. We harvest and eat mushrooms through the warm months and these are listed as edible choice in our bookreference Mushrooms Of North America by Orson K. Miller, sixth printing 1984.

Our camping spot was about 30 feet from rivers edge as show here.

Notice the fly fisherman in the river.
