Mohegan State Forest, Protected forest in Windham County, United States.
Mohegan State Forest is a protected woodland in Windham County covering several hundred acres of natural forest. The forest contains a network of walking trails that pass through different woodland types and across rolling terrain.
The forest was established in 1960 when the state converted former farmland and logging areas into a protected natural space. This transformation marked Connecticut's commitment to preserving woodland for future generations.
The forest bears the name of the Mohegan people who lived in this region for generations before European arrival. Walking through the woods, visitors encounter a landscape that holds deep meaning for the Indigenous heritage of Connecticut.
The forest is reached via Route 97 in Scotland with parking available at entrance points. Trail maps are provided at marked access areas to help visitors navigate the different routes.
The forest participates in Connecticut's State Forests Seedling Letterbox Series, combining outdoor walks with treasure hunt-style navigation activities. Visitors can take part in this fun exploration while discovering the woodland.
