Paugussett Trail, Protected natural area in Connecticut, United States.
The Paugussett Trail extends for 14 miles through Shelton and Monroe, featuring diverse terrain with forests, waterways, and rock formations along its path.
The trail system originated during the Great Depression when the Civilian Conservation Corps established pathways through the lower Housatonic River valley region.
The name Paugussett originates from an Algonquian-speaking Native American tribe that inhabited southwestern Connecticut during the 17th century.
The trail includes multiple access points with parking facilities, connecting Webb Mountain Park and Indian Well State Park through marked paths.
Lake Zoar borders sections of the trail, created in 1919 by the Stevenson Dam construction, providing hydroelectric power to the surrounding region.
