 With consistent waters, a rich cultural history, and a very natural landscape, the Connecticut River provides a unique opportunity to paddle through the heart of New England and is this week's Trail of the Week. The Connecticut River Paddler's Trail is a series of primitive campsites and river access points spanning from the Connecticut River in New Hampshire's Great North Woods all the way to Long Island Sound. While most of the river's shore is privately owned, a number of generous landowners host the public at primitive campsites.
