The Great Outdoors

Encompassing over 27,000 acres, Pachaug State Forest is the largest state forest in Connecticut. There are over 100 miles of trails for hikers to explore. Many trails pass by long-abandoned farms where the only signs of their presence are crumbling stone walls and square hollows in the ground that indicate where a cellar was once built. The longest trail is Pachaug Trail, which stretches nearly 30 miles from Griswold, CT, to Plainfield, CT. Like most of the other trails in Pachaug State Forest, the Pachaug Trail is relatively flat with an occasional rise or dip in the journey. In addition to hiking, many adventurers enjoy snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on Pachaug State Forest’s trails in winter.

Camping at Pachaug State Forest

RV camping at Pachaug State Forest isn’t possible because there are no campgrounds. However, there are several options within 30 miles of the park that may be a good candidate.

Exploring the Area

An advantage of renting a motorhome is it’s extremely easy to travel from town to town and explore its attractions and interact with friendly locals. Connecticut is chock-full of history and charm. Hop into a rental Airstream, hit the coast, and find your favorite lighthouse to photograph or paint. Point Judith Lighthouse in Narragansett, RI, was originally built out of wood, but like the three little pigs, the builders found out why wood was a bad idea. It blew down in a bad storm in 1815. The lighthouse was rebuilt, this time using bricks and stone. This lighthouse is one of the few lighthouses in the United States that is still active, and while it isn’t open to tours, visitors can explore the grounds.
