Located at the confluence of the Connecticut River and the White River, Hartford is composed of five villages, each with a distinct character. All of the villages are worth a visit, but the highlights include Quechee, an appealing resort town full of beautiful historic buildings, and the rural West Hartford, which offers excellent fishing and is located on the Appalachian Trail. The surrounding area boasts plenty of wonderful attractions as well, including the spectacular 165-foot Quechee Gorge and local maple farms where visitors can learn about how maple sap is collected and turned into syrup.
