Winding for 406-miles through Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, this is the longest river in all of New England. Although it provides drinking water to more than 400 different communities, the river is more than just a practical resource. It is also used for a variety of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, swimming, and tubing. Surrounding the river is the Connecticut River Valley, a lush landscape that has remained virtually untouched by mass industrialization. For this reason, you will have the opportunity to see many beautiful natural features in the area, including waterfalls, ponds, marshes, and wetlands.
