Description

This little 2.6 mile loop is in Wolcott and roughly equidistant between Waterbury and Southington. Its said that Abraham Lincoln once walked through one section of this woodland. The trail consists of a right spiralling loop shaped like a Go Cart Track that meanders through a combination of boggy rocky marshland and slightly elevated dense old woodland of Oak, Birch and Hickory. The rolling rocks, lush vegetation and birdsong makes this place very magical.

Description

With an easy parking area and laid back ( for New England) trail this 3.5 mile loop of the Nayantaquit Trail has one little viewpoint and a mixture of lush shady forest and rocky outcrops and boulders. There is a small swampy section in one part and this secluded patch of forest has a large amount of bird life. Bring your bug spray and this little amble round a secluded part of the Nehantic State Forest is well worth the trip. Keep your wits about you at the many path forks to stay on the main blue blazed path.
