About Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail's Connecticut section spans 52 miles from Sherman at the New York border to Salisbury at the Massachusetts border. Features include a five-mile riverside walk along the Housatonic River (the longest on the entire trail), Bear Mountain (highest peak in CT), and Lions Head with sweeping views of the Litchfield Hills.
