Nehantic State Forest
Nehantic State Forest
The Nehantic State Forest is the 11th State Forest in Connecticut with the first 380 parcel acquired in 1926. As of 2015, the forest was 5,026 acres across four blocks:
- East Lyme Block
- Nayantaquit Trail | Lyme Block
- Roger’s Lake Water Access
- Abandoned Route 11 Block
I’m guessing that Blocks 1 and 2 were combined accounting for the blocks numbered up to 5 on the map above.
