Nepaug State Forest
Plan Your Visit to Nepaug State Forest (CT)
Located on Route 202 near New Hartford, Connecticut , can access from Route 202 and Satan's Kingdom Rd. It was originally established to protect the streams feeding the State Fish Hatchery in Burlington. The acquisitions in this area were known as the Burlington Block. In 1927, additional acquisitions were made to the north, in what became known as the Satans Kingdom Block of Nepaug Forest. In 1942, it was decided to create two forests. The southern Burlington Block became Nassahegon State Forest while the northern Satans Kingdom Block became Nepaug State Forest. Recent acquisitions have brought the size of Nepaug to 1,374 acres. The majority of the forest is found in New Hartford, with only a few acres being in Canton. It is a wonderous twisty turny rooty rocky place - very similar to places like Nassahegan or maybe even Middlesex. There is a fair amount of climbing here which rewards you with some fantastic downhills.
