Awesome photo!
A long-ago (nice,’1960’s’) memory I have,growing up,in Weston-my mom taking us kids to feed the ducks at this very same place on Ford Rd…(& yes,
realizing now-it not ‘politically correct’- feeding the ducks..Ford Rd. still
looks a peaceful place,from this photo…)
Hi. Where exactly is this – in Westport or Weston. My brother is a big fisherman and would like to know the next time he is in the area.
That’s the Saugatuck River just off of Ford Road in Westport, south of the Glendinning office complex. Ford Road begins where Lyons Plains Road crosses Weston Rd / Rt 57.
Ford Road is off Weston Road, opposite Lyons Plains. Near the Weston line. But ssshhhhh — don’t tell anyone!
Thanks Jack and Dan! My lips are sealed ; )
More thanks go to Fred Cantor, the photographer.
