Algonquin

Algonquin State Forest is a 1,300-acre protected area located in the towns of Colebrook and Hartland in northwestern Connecticut. The forest is named after the Algonquin peoples who historically inhabited the region, and it sits within the rugged highlands of the Litchfield Hills. Known for its remote character and lack of heavy development, Algonquin State Forest offers visitors a quiet retreat into mature hardwood and conifer forests, rocky ridges, and seasonal streams. The property is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection as part of the state's network of public forestlands.
