Connecticut's {{convert|52|mi|km}} of trail lie almost entirely along the [[ridge]]s to the west above the [[Housatonic River]] valley.<ref name=connecticut>[http://www.appalachiantrail.org/home/explore-the-trail/explore-by-state/Connecticut "Explore the Trail: Connecticut"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160710144224/http://www.appalachiantrail.org/home/explore-the-trail/explore-by-state/Connecticut |date=July 10, 2016 }} AppalachianTrail.org (accessed July 14, 2016).</ref>

The state line is also the western boundary of a {{convert|480|acre|ha}} Connecticut [[Indian reservation|reservation]] inhabited by [[Schaghticoke (tribe)|Schaghticoke Indians]]. Inside it, the AT roughly parallels its northern boundary, crossing back outside it after {{convert|2000|ft|m}}. The trail proceeds northward through the Housatonic River valley and hills to its west, veering northwesterly and, at Salisbury, ascending the southern Taconic mountains, at Lion's Head affording a view northeasterly towards Mt. Greylock and other points in Massachusetts, and at Bear Mountain, reaching over {{convert|2000|ft|m}} in elevation for the first time since Pennsylvania and yielding views across the Hudson River valley to the Catskills and across the broad expanse of the Housatonic valley and the Berkshire and Litchfield Hills to the east. Just north of Bear, the trail, as it crosses into Massachusetts, descends into Sages Ravine, a deep gorge in the eastern Taconic ridgeline which is home to a fragile old growth forest. As the trail crosses the brook in the ravine, it leaves the area maintained by the Connecticut section of the Appalachian Mountain Club.
