Enders State Forest
Overview
Enders State Forest, known formally as John Ostrom Enders and Harriet Whitmore Enders State Forest, was a gift to the State of Connecticut by their four children in 1970. The Enders family donated additional land in 1981 and after a recent purchase in 2002, the forest is now 2,098 acres. Enders State Forest is found within the towns of Granby and Barkhamsted.
The forest is managed for sawtimber, firewood, wildlife habitat, and recreational activities such as hiking, fishing and bird watching.
