Lieutenant River
Coordinates: 41°19′35″N 72°19′45″W / 41.3265°N 72.3292°W
The Lieutenant River is a 3.7-mile-long (6.0 km)[1] tidal river located in Old Lyme, Connecticut. It joins the Connecticut River in the estuary, just above the point where that river flows into Long Island Sound.
The river has a public boat launch and is a popular fishing spot.[2]
The Lieutenant River is popular among artists and photographers. A number of American impressionist artists, including Childe Hassam, painted views of the river while staying at the Florence Griswold House in Old Lyme.[3][4]
The Florence Griswold Museum was designed with windows that have sweeping views of the Lieutenant River.[5]
