Natchaug State Forest, CT

"Natchaug" is a Native American word meaning "land between the rivers." This state forest occupies a portion of the former hunting grounds of the Wabbaquasset Indians between the Bigelow and Still Rivers. Today, visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and horseback riding in the area. The forest offers one of the state's two equestrian camps, the Silvermine Horse Camp, and many visitors also enjoy birding.
