Rugged terrain with steep, rocky hillsides typifies this forest. The initial 213 acres were a gift from the American Legion. A hiking trail which winds through the forest offers a view of beautiful rock formations as well as of the river valley. Thirty spacious campsites line the East branch of the Farmington River. The 782-acre park offers flush toilets, gravel parking. Located one mile north of Pleasant Valley. For information regarding the camping program, or other visitor info, contact the State Parks Division, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, DEP, in Hartford.
