Bulls Bridge Generating Station

Completed in 1903, this instantaneous, Class I renewable run-of-river station was the first large hydroelectric station in Connecticut. Located on the Housatonic River in the towns of Kent and New Milford, the project supports a natural flow regime and also includes a high-difficulty whitewater area, trail systems, a wildlife and trout management area, and direct access to the Appalachian Trail.
