About Silver Brook North Flood Control Site
The Silver Brook North Flood Control Site allows paddlers to enjoy a short 1-mile paddle in a remote section of the Berkshires. The reservoir was built as part of the Farmington River Flood Control Project in the 1970s. Visitors can park just north of the dam and carry their boats (cartop and electric motors only) a short distance down the steep dam embankment to the water. The lake is surrounded by forest, so you can enjoy a quiet paddle along the shore.
