Connecticut

Connecticut is home to many State Parks, hiking trails, and, like other New England states, hosts many visitors who come to see its dramatic fall colors. In addition to outdoor activities like hiking the famous Appalachian Trail, Connecticut has an excellent—though brief—springtime rafting season on the Houstonic River. An exciting Class IV+ Connecticut whitewater rafting trip is a great way to enjoy the state’s beauty.
