Dayville, the abandoned village in North Chester because of the building of Littleville Dam.  Located on the Middle Branch of the Westfield River off East River Road, the old Kinnebrook Road is open for walking along the river. Just about 1.5 miles in the giant parking lot and boat launch is located where the river meets Littleville Lake.  Exceptional paddling and dog swimming here in the summer months.  In the early Spring, this area floods (hence the mud on the road and parking lot) and everything is under deep water as Littleville Dam holds back the water to protect the valley.  Gates close at sunset.
