Encompassing 26,477 acres of public lands, access roads, and trails across six towns, Pachaug State Forest is the largest in Connecticut. The massive park is a paradise for campers, hikers, backpackers, snowmobilers, motorcyclists, equestrians, hunters, and all-around nature appreciators, checking all the boxes for outdoor experience, rugged beauty, adventure, and adrenaline. Pachaug is derived from the Indian term meaning “bend” or “turn in the river”.
The state forest is home to a rich menagerie of wildlife and terrain. Here, the Pachaug River rises from its headwaters at Beach Pond and ambles through the forest for a good portion of its course. The Pachaug-Great Meadow Swamp, a designated National Natural Landmark, is one of the finest and most extensive Atlantic white cedar swamps in Connecticut. Ponds, streams, waterfalls, ravines, mill ruins, and glacial fields dot the landscape, providing unlimited opportunity to explore four seasons a year.
