Lillinonah Trail, Protected hiking trail in Newtown, United States.
The Lillinonah Trail extends for 6.2 miles through Paugussett State Forest, offering views of Lake Lillinonah and the Shepaug River inlet.
The construction of the Shepaug Dam in 1955 created Lake Lillinonah, transforming the landscape and establishing new recreational opportunities along the trail route.
The trail name comes from a Native American legend about a Pootatuck tribe maiden whose story intertwines with early European settlement history.
Visitors should wear bright orange clothing during hunting season, as the state forest permits hunting activities throughout specific times of the year.
Near Echo Valley Road parking area, the forest contains an operational sugar maple facility demonstrating traditional syrup production methods.
