wolf spider? - Arctosa littoralis

wolf spider? - Arctosa littoralis
Windsor Locks Canal State Park Trail (Suffield) - Connecticut River, Hartford County, Connecticut, USA
August 1, 2010
Size: ~ 12mm (body)
This spider was found under a rock on the banks of the Connecticut river. Similar spiders were found under most of the rocks we looked under. The habitat was very wet (river level had dropped recently).

Looked like a small Fishing spider (Dolomedes) but I think the eye arrangement is wrong for that. Perhaps a wolf spider?

Perhaps Arctosa?
I've gone through a bunch of the wolf spiders and this one seems similar:


Any spider experts out there want to confirm or deny?

Probably Wolf Spider
I am not an expert but your spider looks similar to mine and mine was a Wolf Spider - http://bugguide.net/node/view/57448
