SaveAn area with some challenging trails and a lot of history. Colonial roads dating back to the 1750s, a 1776 cemetery, some extremely steep trails with great vistas and a nice cascade.
The downside is all the trails have been savaged by ATVs and there is virtually no enforcement. The area is a patchwork of mostly private and water company properties with several rod an gun club ranges. If it is posted stay out and it is always wise to stay on the blazed trails and established dirt roads. You will likely encounter motorized vehicles.
The adjacent Lake Compounce is the oldest continuously operated amusement park in the nation and some of the trail are on park property.
The name Lake Compounce is derived from John Compound, a Mattatuck/Tunxis Native American Chieftain. On December 2, 1684, his wife and several tribal members affixed their waxed fingertip “marks” to a deed that conveyed the “Compound’s Lake” to a group of white settlers who had migrated to central Connecticut from Massachusetts. Legend has it that shortly thereafter, Chief Compound drowned in the lake while trying to cross it in a large brass kettle.
