The Housatonic in Connecticut a Wild and Scenic River Study THE HOUSATONIC IN CONNECTICUT A WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR : NATIONAL PARK SERVICE As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historic places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interests of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation conmunities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Cecil D. Andrus, Secretary NATIONAL PARK SERVICE William J. Whalen, Director FINAL REPORT THE HOUSATONIC IN CONNECTICUT A WILD AND SCENIC RIVER STUDY August 1979 Prepared by: U.S. Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (formerly Bureau of Outdoor Recreation) Northeast Regional Office Printed by the National .Park Service FOREWORD On October 12, 1976, the U.S. Congress amended the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Public Law 90-542) to include for study the Housatonic River in Connecticut from the Massachusetts/Connecticut boundary downstream to its conflu­ ence with the Shepaug River. This action was the result of the initia­ tive taken by the people of the Housatonic Valley to protect the natural beauty and cultural heritage of their river. The Wild and Scenic Rivers System was established by Congress in 1968 to protect and conserve outstanding free-flowing rivers of this nation for the future. Its purpose as stated in the Act is "that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cul­ tural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoy­ ment of present and future gener­ ations." This report evaluates the Housatonic River in Connecticut, discusses the actions required for conservation and protection of the river, and explains the procedures for designation of the eligible river segment as a National Scenic and Recreational River.

  • A Perfect Summer Drive NEW ENGLAND’S MAGAZINE Enjoy This 56-Mile Loop Through Northwest Connecticut
    A Perfect Summer Drive NEW ENGLAND’S MAGAZINE Enjoy this 56-mile loop through northwest Connecticut. Written and narrated by Carol Cambo Photography by Julie Bidwell Listen to the podcast of this tour at YankeeMagazine.com. Welcome to Yankee Magazine’s driving tour of Litchfield County in the northwest corner of Connecticut. This recording follows the 56-mile tour in a counter-clockwise direction, beginning in the town of Litchfield. Set your odometer to zero at the junction of Routes 63 and 202 in downtown Litchfield (1). One of the prettiest towns in New England, Litchfield was founded in 1721 and was the lead- ing commercial, social, cultural, and legal center of northwest Connecticut by the end of that century. It's known especially for local lawyer Tapping Reeve, who systematized his law lectures for young students, creating the Litchfield Law School in 1784. As you travel north out of town on Route 63, you'll see a sign for Pierce Academy on your left (2). Established in 1792, it was one of the first major educational institutions for women in the United States. Notice the stately homes along this stretch of Route 63, many bounded by stone walls. Litchfield's fortunes declined after its golden age of law and education in the 1700s because it didn’t have an adequate water supply or rail transportation. It was rediscovered as a resort community in the late 19th century; at that time the town embraced the Colonial Revival movement, and many of the homes along this stretch bear the evidence in their white clap- boards and black shutters.
