Park Features

Kettletown State Park was originally inhabited by the Paugussett Indians, a once prosperous tribe, whose arrowheads are occasionally unearthed at the park. Legend states that they signed a treaty with early colonists to allow them use of the land for hunting and fishing in exchange for one brass kettle. Damning of the Housatonic River in the early 20th century to produce hydroelectric power resulted in the creation of Lake Zoar. Just on the other side of the lake is Paugussett State Forest which consists of 2,000 acres. Hiking trails abound at Kettletown State Park but be careful not to step on the five-lined skink which is the state’s only lizard and is found in only a few locations!

I was planning to go camping to that Park, however a friend of mine who lives very close from there told me now is forbidden to camping there due to the fact persons are destroying nature... what a shame!
