Connecticut River Information Page
The Connecticut River is New England's largest river ecosystem and one of the Nation's first American Heritage Rivers. Its watershed encompasses over 11,000 square miles of wild, rural and urban lands in parts of four states Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. The Connecticut River carves a sinuous, shimmering pathway south from Fourth Connecticut Lake at the Canadian border past forested mountains and small hamlets, through rich farmlands and large cities 410 miles later into Long Island Sound.
