With its spring in Massachusetts the Housatonic River flows for 149 miles to southern Connecticut into Long Island Sound. The Appalachian Trail follows the river from the covered wooden Bulls Bridge to Falls Village. The river is also a popular whitewater paddling destination with mostly Class I to Class III rapids.
