SaveThe name Natchaug means "land between the rivers" and refers to the land at the junction of the Bigelow and Still Rivers which join to form the Natchaug River. The Forest is popular for its horse trails, outstanding fishing, and riverfront picnic sites. Of historic interest is a large stone fireplace and chimney that are the remains of the birthplace of General Nathaniel Lyon, the first Union General killed in the Civil War. Natchaug was established as a state forest in 1917.
Natchaug State Forest is located in six towns including Ashford, Chaplin, and Eastford. The Natchaug River runs from north to south along the western border of the main forest parcel. James L. Goodwin State Forest abuts Natchaug to the south.
The trails are fun old school mountin bike trails. They are shared with hikers and equestrians and campers. It's a fun place to ride.
Directly north of it is Mashamoquet Brook State Park which in addition to trails also has swimming.
Attempting to ride Goodwin, Natchaug and Mashamoquet in one ride would certainly be a epic adventure.
