Pachaug State Forest, State forest in New London County, US
The forest spans 26,477 acres across six Connecticut towns, featuring ponds, streams, waterfalls, ravines, mill ruins, and glacial fields throughout the landscape.
The forest was established in 1928, with substantial land acquisitions occurring during the Great Depression years through various purchase programs.
The name Pachaug originates from Native American language, referring to the river's characteristic bend that flows through the forest's central area.
Mount Misery Campground and Green Falls Campground provide rustic camping sites near the Rhododendron Sanctuary with water access for fishing activities.
The Pachaug-Great Meadow Swamp contains one of Connecticut's largest Atlantic white cedar swamps, leading to its National Natural Landmark designation.
