The Connecticut River is the longest river in the New England region of the United States. Flowing roughly southward for 406.12 miles through four U.S. states, the Connecticut rises at the U.S. border with Quebec, Canada, and discharges at Long Island Sound. Its watershed encompasses five U.S. states and one Canadian province – 11,260 square miles – via 148 tributaries, 38 of which are major rivers. Discharging at 19,600 cubic feet per second, the Connecticut produces 70% of Long Island Sound's freshwater.
