The Connecticut River flows through the U.S. states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachussetts and Connecticut.

The Connecticut River is The longest river in the New England, flowing roughly southward from just south of Quebec for 406 miles through NH, VT, MA and CT until it reaches the Long Island Sound. Its watershed includes parts of five U.S. states and one Canadian province, via 148 tributaries, 38 of which are major rivers.[1]

The Connecticut River Valley is home to highly productive farmland, as well as the Hartford–Springfield Knowledge Corridor, a metropolitan region of approximately two million people surrounding Springfield, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut.[2]
