Park River (Connecticut)

Park River (Connecticut)

The Park River is a unique urban river that flows through, and under the City of Hartford Connecticut. It was diverted underground by the Army Corps Of Engineers in 1940. The reason for this was to reduce the risk of Spring floods in the city.

It has also been called the Hog River.
