The Farmington River (a tailwater) is only a stones through away, and the area offers many B&B's outdoor activities.  Personally I go up there every summer to stay at a friends house to fish, play some golf and escape the heat.  From my home it's only a 3 hour drive.  If you need a place to stay while up their I can recommend Paul Rossman B&B the Pine Brook B&B Paul is a world class fly tier,  guide, fellow artist and friend.

I came across this at  The Hartford Courant.
