- Overview
Pachaug State Forest is the largest forest in the Connecticut state forest system, encompassing over 27,000 acres (110km²) of land. It is located on the Rhode Island border in New London County, and parcels of the forest lie in the towns of Voluntown, Griswold, Plainfield, Sterling, North Stonington, and Preston. The forest was founded in 1928, but most of the land came from purchases made later during the Great Depression. The Pachaug-Great Meadow Swamp portion of the park was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1973.The forest is named after the Pachaug River, which runs through the center of the forest.[1]
