Nye-Holman State Forest, State forest in Tolland, United States.
Nye-Holman State Forest spans 818 acres across Tolland, Willington, and Ellington, featuring the Willimantic River and diverse woodland landscapes.
The forest was established in 1931 through a donation from Mrs. Alice Henry Hall, who named it after her great-grandfather Samuel Nye and father William Holman.
The forest maintains a former nursery site that produced 225,000 young trees until 1947, leaving a legacy of varied plantations near Route 74.
Connecticut residents with state-registered vehicles can access the forest without parking fees through the Passport to the Parks program.
The Cole W. Wilde Trout Management Area within the forest limits fishing to catch and release fly-fishing methods only.
