Quinebaug & Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor is a brilliant national park, and getting to Abington Brook from Taft Pond is trouble-free. This lake is so wonderful. Drift down the rapids of Quinebaug River in a kayak, and there's glorious hiking along the Walkabout Trail. Paddling on Natchaug River is so much fun, and there are glorious locations to explore along the Border Trail. This lake

A delightful close by hotel is The Inn at Woodstock Hill; don't leave Taft Pond without first going for a hike along the Munyan Trail. Camping at Wolf Den Campground is always a good experience, and the sight of Allen Hill is gorgeous. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites | |
