Tripping on Travel: Quaddick State Forest, Windham County, CT

This was one of those perfect days for visiting a state forest. Not only is the small area of Quaddick State Forest that I visited free from the noise of nearby traffic, it offers the sounds of bird species which can be heard in the background of the video. A species I can't identify. If you know what that is, let me know in the comments. Outside of that, the sound of a family who was nearby enjoying the natural environment can be heard. In one segment, it almost sounds like a child is responding to the bird I kept hearing and I ask about here.

I entered the west side of the state forest off of Baker Rd, using what appeared to be a trail that has it posted vehicles are not allowed. This is marked on the map as Totem Pole Rd. It would have to be what I guess is OLD Totem Pole Rd, because there is another residential Totem Pole Rd in the vicinity farther south, on the shoreline of the Quaddick Reservoir. While you can't see this on the map I provide in the video, 'Any Place America' provides a map of the area that does show the residential Totem Pole Rd on the shoreline. But you'll have to zoom in to see it labeled as such. It appears to be a short, dead end road. Another map published by ExploreCT will show you the boundaries of the state forest (see the links in the description).

According to Connecticut's Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, Quaddick State Forest contains approximately 550 acres. "The forest is located both on the east and west sides of the Quaddick Reservoir, an industrial reservoir covering approximately 466 acres. The original parcel was acquired by the Resettlement Administration of the United States government and leased to the State back in the 1930s. The forest protects the reservoir while also providing ample recreational activities. This includes fishing for bass and pike; hunting for deer, turkey, and small game; canoeing and kayaking opportunities; and youth group camping."
