The 코네티컷 강 is the longest river in New England, stretching approximately 406 miles. It flows through four states: 뉴햄프셔, 버몬트, 매사추세츠, and 코네티컷. The river originates from the 프랭클린 호수 in 뉴햄프셔 and eventually empties into the 롱 아일랜드 사운드. The river plays a significant role in the region's ecology and economy. It provides habitats for various wildlife and is a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking along its banks. The 코네티컷 강 also supports local communities through tourism and commerce.
