Exploring one of America’s Heritage Rivers – The Connecticut



The 410 mile-long Connecticut River is New England’s longest river. Its headwaters are at the Canadian border and it empties into Long Island Sound at Old Saybrook Connecticut. Known to Native Americans as “Quenticut- the long tidal river”, it is one of America’s earliest developed rivers with European settlements stretching back over 350 years. Dammed and dumped in over the past 150 years, it was called at one time as the Nation’s “best landscaped sewer”. However, since 1972’s passing of the Federal Clean Water Act, it is now swimmable, fishable and in some areas drinkable. "Diving in the Connecticut River" is excellent and in this presentation, Annette Spaulding and Patrick Madden hope to give you insight into the biodiversity, history and excitement of this historic river.
