Rivers and Waterways in Connecticut

Connecticut’s river system is shaped by its compact size and varied landscape, with rivers flowing from upland areas in the north toward Long Island Sound. Most waterways drain south into the Atlantic Ocean, while western portions connect to the Hudson River system. The state features a mix of steady rivers and smaller streams, along with several reservoirs that provide drinking water and support local communities. Despite its size, Connecticut’s rivers play an important role in regional ecology, recreation, and water supply.
