WOODSVILLE — Slipping a canoe or dipping a toe into the Connecticut River got easier in Woodsville last week. To make the river more accessible, the village hauled slabs of granite to build steps leading into the water by the fields of the Woodsville Complex. There had long been an informal access point at the spot, but decades of foot traffic and the constant grating of the river's current against the shoreline had made the going increasingly rough. Parking is available at the fields, at 28 Connecticut St.
