Mattatuck State Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mattatuck State Forest is located between Waterbury, Connecticut to the south, East Litchfield, Connecticut to the north, Bristol, Connecticut to the East, and Bethlehem, Connecticut to the west. The Naugatuck River runs through a portion of the forest. The largest section of the forest is located about 1 mile north of Waterbury.
A popular rock climbing area, Whitestone, is within the largest section of forest just east of the Naugatuck River. Top-roping techniques are used for heights of about 50 feet. Trail access is from South Street.
Even though hiking is a favorite activity in Mattatuck State Forest, trail maps are scarce and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection does not publish a trail map for public use.
