Connecticut River

The Connecticut River is the largest river in New England. The river carries a heavy amount of silt, especially during the spring snow melt, from as far north as Quebec. The heavy silt concentration of the river forms a large sandbar near its mouth on Long Island Sound and has historically provided a formidable obstacle to navigation.

When it comes to its relation with Pleasant Port, the river is the scenery of several legends that old people in town already heard from their grandparents. One of the most famous legends is the Lady of the River, which is told in town since years and years ago.

The closest street to the River is Salem Road, with some of the houses facing the bank, providing them with a nice view. Still, you'll be able to reach the river from different spots in the town surroundings, all with nice changing views depending on the season.
