The Town of Canton has received a grant funding provided by the Farmington River Enhancement Grants administered by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a master plan for the Upper Collinsville Mill Pond and adjacent shoreline areas. The Upper Collinsville Mill Pond is the portion of the Farmington River from Town Bridge Road to Bridge Street. The study will provide a plan to restore the recreational, aesthetic, economic, historical, and ecological values of the Upper Collinsville Mill Pond including a feasibility study for the potential removal and disposal of sediments from the impoundment to restore depths in shallow areas to the extent necessary to enhance recreation and aesthetics. The master plan will address preservation and enhancement of the Upper Mill Pond area for public access, hiking, swimming, and fishing, ADA compliance, canoeing, and kayaking. Finally, the plan will also address emerging land and river use issues identified during the planning process.
