SaveThe trail system in Sunny Brook State Park consists of two main trails: the Testone Boulder Loop and the Fadoir Spring Trail. The varied but gentle landscape provides ideal conditions for family hikes that can be enjoyed by all ages. A bronze plaque affixed to a boulder in the Sunnybrook State Park parking lot dedicates the trails to naturalist Jerome “Jay” Bacca of Torrington.
Jay and his wife Lorrie developed the trails in the early 1980s in memory of Alain C. White and his sister May White. Together the Whites established the 4,200-acre White Memorial Foundation in nearby Litchfield and Morris and donated substantial lands to early state forests and parks in western Connecticut. Alain White was president of CFPA from 1923 to 1928.
The trails are worthy of their namesakes, passing by a great ledge, three large boulders, an impressive stand of pines and hemlocks, plus a pond with a beaver lodge and a heron rookery.
The Alain and May White Nature Trails in Sunnybrook State Park link to the John Muir Trail in Paugnut State Forest, and the Walcott Trail in Burr Pond State Park. Together this system of interconnected trails meanders for 11.5 miles over rolling, forested terrain.
The southern end of the park is used by the local Balsa Bandits RC Model Airplane Club. This section leads to a flood control dam built after the 1955 flood for this East Branch of the Naugatuck River. The Naugatuck is the longest river in Connecticut that is completely within the state.
