About Connecticut River

Historic villages and working landscapes combine with natural riverine beauty to create a journey though Colonial history along the Connecticut River Byway. The byway traverses a beautiful pastoral landscape of riverside farmlands, historic village centers founded in the late 1600s, working landscapes laid out during Colonial times, tobacco barns, and vistas of the Connecticut River and the Mount Holyoke Range. Ramp surfaces include 5 paved concrete ramps suitable for larger motorized vessels, 2 carry-in launches for kayaks and canoes. Ramps are managed by Connecticut River Water Access, Gillette Castle State Park, Haddam Meadows State Park, and others. Live water level data is available from 3 USGS gauges near Connecticut River. Check current conditions before launching, as water levels can affect ramp accessibility.
