View across a section of First Connecticut Lake

The Connecticut Lakes are a group of lakes in Coos County, northern New Hampshire, United States, situated along the headwaters of the Connecticut River. They are accessed via the northernmost segment of U.S. Route 3, between the village of Pittsburg and the Canada port of entry south of Chartierville, Quebec. The lakes are located within the boundaries of Pittsburg, but are far from the town center. Connecticut Lakes State Forest adjoins them.

There are four lakes: First, Second, Third and Fourth Connecticut Lake, numerically running south to north. The lakes decrease in size and increase in elevation, sequentially from first to fourth. The fourth lake is the source of the Connecticut River. The first three lakes can be viewed and accessed from U.S. Route 3, while the only access to the fourth lake is via the Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail, which goes in and out of Canada. All lakes are north of the 45th parallel.

Lake Francis lies to the south of the four Connecticut Lakes. It is a man-made reservoir and the last of the major lakes along the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire.

Fourth Connecticut Lake

Шаблон:Infobox body of water Fourth Connecticut Lake is the northernmost and most remote of the Connecticut Lakes; it is also the smallest, at Шаблон:Convert.

The fourth lake is immediately to the northwest of the third lake. The Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail leads hikers to the lake.

Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail

The Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail is a public trail maintained by The Nature Conservancy that criss-crosses the international border between New Hampshire and Quebec for Шаблон:Convert ending with a Шаблон:Convert loop around the Fourth Connecticut Lake.[10] It is one of the few international trails in North America.

Trail sign

The parking area for hikers is at the American facility of the Pittsburg–Chartierville Border Crossing, located Шаблон:Convert north of the Pittsburg town center via U.S. Route 3.[11][12][13] The trail begins about Шаблон:Convert to the right of the American building, with a small kiosk at the trailhead.[11]

The trail has no cell phone coverage, requires some non-technical climbing, and starts at a good elevation—hikers should be prepared, even in summer. Pets are not allowed on the trail, and no camping, hunting, or fishing is allowed.[10]

For persons starting in the United States, passports are not needed to hike the trail as, even though parts of the trail are in Canada, the trail starts and ends on the American side of the international border. For persons starting in Canada, a passport or other border crossing document would be required in order to enter the United States at the border facility before hiking the trail.
