The primary purpose of this property is to encourage novice fly fishers with an accessible catch and release only area.
This section from the rest-stop has 0.4 miles of ‘Fly Fishing Only’ paths extending downstream and continuing until reaching a bridge where erosion has made the bank impassable, otherwise they would likely connect with the main parcel of Nye-Holman State Forest.
There is also the remains of the former Red Bridge (1800s) where the Center Turnpike crossed the river heading from the Tolland Courthouse to Dudley, Massachusetts.
One of Connecticut’s Trout Management Areas since at least 1993, the 1,000ft of the area underwent restoration in 2001 to increase habitat areas for trout.
