The northwestern hills of Connecticut were once the lands of the Indians. Route 7 was once their path to walk along the beautiful Housatonic River. Eventually that path became a towpath for early settlers, farmers, travelers and their cows, horses and assorted other animals. Today, Route 7 and the Housatonic River take you to the Appalachian Trail, Lime Rock Raceway, Tanglewood and the historic summer homes and gardens of the wealthy in Lenox and Lee, Massachusetts to tour. Canoe, fly-fish or kayak the Housatonic River or walk its banks and trails.
