The true origin of the name Devil's Hopyard is lost to the ravages of time. There are a couple of theories, however. This much is known: In the early 1800s, there was a malt house on a small farm, and the farmer grew hops. As far as the “devil” aspect goes, it’s believed that the local people developed superstitions about the waterfall due to the natural potholes created by erosion. Another theory is that there was, at one point, an individual whose name was “Dibble,” and over time, the name was bastardized.

The Great Outdoor
Covering around 1,000 acres, the lush green woods is almost jungle-like. High overhead, the branches of tall hardwood trees reach out to one another, forming a lacy canopy that filters sunlight in dapples onto the forest floor. Ferns, mosses, and other greenery coat every inch of the ground. A few miles of hiking trails meander through the verdant woods, most looping back onto itself. Bring your camera. The main star of Devil’s Hopyard State Park is the Chapman Falls. At 60 feet high, the water flows over a granite ledge, and after a short drop, it fans out over several small shelves into a shallow pool. In springtime, the waterfall is a raging, dramatic froth of water. After the summer heat sets in, the flow slows to a fragile trickle though it rarely ever stops. Elsewhere in the park are two smaller waterfalls and three historic bridges that are as old as this country is.

Exploring the Area

The area has a few covered bridges and stone bridges, Outside Colchester is the Comstock Covered Bridge, which is one of the three covered bridges still standing in Connecticut. It was built in 1785 and has been lovingly repaired a few times since.

The RV was as described and comfortable for my group of 6. Our host, Gilbert, was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process. His communication streamlined our trip and made it an amazing experience. He even gave us a parting gift to thank us. 100% highly recommended! Thank you again Gilbert!
