Nathan Hale State Forest, State forest in Coventry and Andover, Connecticut
Nathan Hale State Forest encompasses 1,455 acres of protected land featuring diverse woodlands, natural areas, and maintained trails through Connecticut's landscape.
The forest originated in 1946 when George Dudley Seymour's bequest enabled Connecticut to purchase 850 acres surrounding the Nathan Hale Homestead.
The forest preserves the natural heritage of Connecticut through a 200-acre designated natural area where ecosystems develop without human intervention.
Visitors can access multiple recreational activities including hiking trails, hunting areas, and fishing spots throughout the forest's extensive territory.
The Department of Environmental Protection maintains specific zones for tree age distribution, from seedlings to mature timber, supporting ecological research.
