ウィンダム郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Easy to get to, plenty of parking, mostly flat, not a lot of tripping hazards for a woods run, and easy length at 4 miles. Highly recommend!

The Wolf Den is the most famous feature of Mashamoquet Brook State Park. Legend has it that in 1742, Israel Putnam, who later became a Major General in the Revolutionary War, entered the den and killed Connecticut’s last known wolf, which had been preying on local livestock. This act made Putnam a local hero. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, with a plaque at the entrance recounting the tale. Nearby, visitors can also find Table Rock, a large flat rock, and Indian Chair, a seat-shaped stone ledge.

This park, encompassing over 1,000 acres, was originally three parks—Mashamoquet Brook, Wolf Den, and Saptree Run—that have been combined into one. It features miles of trails with campgrounds if you want to extend your journey.
