Enders State Forest, State forest in Granby, Connecticut.
Enders State Forest spans 2,105 acres across Granby and Barkhamsted, featuring multiple waterfalls, dense woodlands, and hiking trails through varied terrain.
The forest was established in 1970 when the four children of John and Harriet Enders donated 1,500 acres of woodlands to Connecticut state.
The forest connects to the McLean Game Refuge, forming part of a larger protected natural area that preserves Connecticut's woodland heritage.
Visitors can access the waterfalls via a three-quarter-mile trail marked with purple blazes, while swimming activities are not permitted for safety reasons.
The forest's elevation ranges from 900 to 1,100 feet, creating a network of streams that flow eastward to the west branch of the Salmon River.
