The Farmington River offers so much to so many people. From fly fishers to worm drowners, intrepid hikers to gawking automobile passengers, skilled boaters to floundering first time floaters, and natural resource students to those unaware of the natural resource values at hand. All these users, all in one place, and all at one time. No wonder there need to be some guidelines for behavior so that all can have a safe and enjoyable experience.
