About the Business
Mashamoquet Brook State Park, located at 276 Mashamoquet Road in Pomfret, Connecticut, is a popular tourist attraction known for its natural beauty and historical significance. The park is home to the famous Wolf Den, where legend has it that Israel Putnam shot Connecticut's last documented wolf in 1742. This site is now listed on the National Historic Places and features a plaque telling the story.
In addition to the Wolf Den, visitors can explore other natural stone formations such as Table Rock and Indian Chair. The park offers 53 campsites across two campgrounds, each offering a unique experience for campers. The park also provides Youth Group Camping for qualifying youth organizations.
Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the Mashamoquet Brook, which is annually stocked with trout and other fish. The park offers a 6.5-mile network of trails for hiking and exploring, suitable for all levels of adventurers. After a day of outdoor activities, visitors can relax at the picnic area, which features tables, grills, and a picnic shelter available for rent.
The park's picnic pavilion, built from hemlock timbers harvested at Rocky Glen State Park, is a great spot for group gatherings. To rent the pavilion or learn more about camping and fishing opportunities, visitors can contact the park office at (860) 928-6121.

Reviews
"I absolutely love this park for my photography sessions. Beautiful scenery, plenty of space to run and jump! Prrfect for the action shots!"
"Found this place picking up our son. Wonderful for hikes and camping. So much to explore, meditate, return to nature. I wrote a poem while there."
"A peaceful wooded area with a running brook alongside picnic areas with grills and hiking trails. Ample parking and Porta-Potty relief stations that are cleaned every 2-3 days."
"10.8.22 This is one of my fave places to hike in the fall because it's peaceful and colorful. I have a bad knee so there's one spot in this trail that is rocky so I go much slower. But it's so much fun. I have seen a snake here every time I hike it but that is just part of nature and being outdoors. If you're new to hiking I suggest you follow the AllTrails map. This park has lots of parking, picnic tables, porta potties, spots to fish, hiking trails, and beautiful views."
