Picture Connecticut: Rapids In The Northeast Corner

PUTNAM, CT — The latest installment of the Picture Connecticut series takes us to the northeast corner of the state and the town of Putnam.

There, on Sunday, was a testament to the heavy rains the state has experienced this summer.

The rapids below the waterfall in the center of town adjacent to the World War Memorial Bridge were raging.

The rapids are part of the Quinebaug River.
