The
Silvermine
River serves
as the border
line separating
the towns
of New Canaan
and Wilton
for about
a mile and
a half. The
river is especially
visible and
scenic at
the southern
end of this
border section
and slightly
into Norwalk,
along Mill
Road and River
Road. Several
old mills
operated along
this stretch,
and one forms
the nucleus
of today's
Silvermine
Tavern at
the north
end of Perry
Avenue.
A
small tributary,
Guild
Brook,
enters here
from the west.
To the northeast
lies the large
South Norwalk
Reservoir,
which is fed
primarily
by Huckleberry
Hills Brook.
The connecting
stream from
the reservoir
down to this
point on the
Silvermine
River is called
Belden
Hill Brook.
