Squantz Pond State Park and Pootatuck State Forest Picnic afterwards

Squantz Pond came about with the flooding of Candlewood Lake, with just a causeway separating the two. Squantz Pond State Park and Pootatuck State Forest abut each other, creating a large area to hike in.

This is a 6 mile hike, level B+
