Norwalk River
The Norwalk River is a river in southwestern Connecticut, approximately long.〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed April 1, 2011〕 The word "Norwalk" comes from the Algonquian word "noyank" meaning "point of land".
==Description==
The Norwalk River originates in ponds located in Ridgefield, Connecticut. These ponds empty into Ridgefield’s approximately "Great Swamp". The river continues through Ridgefield, and is augmented by the "Great Pond" ( above sea level), one of the purest lakes in Connecticut due to its being fed by underwater springs. The river is closely paralleled by U.S. Route 7 as it flows southward through Branchville, Georgetown, Wilton, and Norwalk, where it is joined by the Silvermine River and then flows into Norwalk Harbor and finally into Long Island Sound.
Recreational fishing continues to be a popular sport along the course of the river, in addition to oystering at the river’s mouth in Norwalk.
A 20-year-old man drowned in the river on May 24, 2009 while trying to save a boy who slipped into a strong current near Broad Street in northern Norwalk, near the Route 7 Connector. The boy had been playing in knee-deep water. Jose Higareda, a Mexican immigrant living in Norwalk, jumped in the water with the boy's father, but Higareda was himself dragged downstream toward Deering Pond. The boy survived.〔Cassidy, Martin B., "Catastrophe on the water: 20-year-old man drowns in Norwalk River while tryig to save young boy", May 29, 2009, ''Norwalk Citizen'', p A6〕
