Saugatuck River

It drains part of suburban and rural Fairfield County west of Bridgeport, emptying into Long Island Sound.

The Saugatuck River issues from Sugar Hollow Pond, its headwaters located at exactly 41°20'50.4"N 73°28'06.4"W[2] approximately 3 miles (5 km) southwest of downtown Danbury.

After treaties with the local tribes, members of the Connecticut Colony began to settle the area between the Saugatuck and the Norwalk rivers to the west between 1639 and 1661.

In 1908, the author Samuel Clemens moved into a villa he named "Stormfield" built on a hill overlooking the Saugatuck River in Redding, Connecticut.

Secrets of Redding Glen, a 1973 children's book written and illustrated by Jo Polseno, chronicles the natural cycle of wildlife along a section of the Saugatuck River.
