Pomperaug Trail, Protected hiking area in Connecticut, US
The Pomperaug Trail extends 4.6 miles through Oxford and Southbury, featuring terrain changes from gradual ascents to flat sections along the Housatonic River.
The trail's name originates from a Pootatuck Native American chief who sold this land to European settlers during the early colonial period.
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association maintains this Blue-Blazed trail system, which forms part of the extensive mid-Housatonic River Trails network.
Jackson Cove Park serves as the primary access point, though winter visits from November to March require alternative parking due to park closure.
Multiple unbridged brooks and streams cross the path, creating natural water features that transform the hiking experience after rainfall.
