The Connetquot River (also known as Great River) is a long river in Islip. It is one of the four biggest rivers on Long Island and is recognized by the state as a Wild, Scenic and Recreational River. It is particularly known for its brook, brown and rainbow trout fly fishing. The upper reaches of the river including its headwaters are totally in the Connetquot River State Park Preserve or Lakeland County Park before it becomes an estuary. It starts just south of the Long Island Expressway from springs in the Lakeland County Park in Islandia, New York where it is called Connetquot Brook. The estuary portion south of Sunrise Highway at Oakdale, New York is officially called the Connetquot River although in popular usage both the brook and river share the same name. The name comes from the Secatogue tribe name for "Great River" and is different from the Carmans River on Long Island which at one time was called the Connecticut River.〔(Connetquot River so good, so close to many - espn.com - Retrieved November 21, 2007 )〕 The Connetquot River habitat is the largest contiguous area of undeveloped land in Suffolk County that encompasses an entire river watershed. It, like all other rivers on Long Island, is totally generated from groundwater springs (no lakes).〔(nyswaterfronts.com profile )〕 ==List of crossings of the Connectquot River== *25px Long Island Expressway Eastbound Service Road *Johnson Avenue *Long Island Rail Road Main Line *Perimiter Road *25px New York State Route 454 *Bunces Bridge (Long Island Greenbelt Trail) *Red Trail (North) *Red Trail (Fish Hatchery) *Red and Blue Trail *20px20px New York State Route 27 and Montauk Highway (Suffolk CR 85) *Long Island Rail Road Montauk Branch and Biltmore Avenue 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Connetquot River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
