Pachaug Trail

Pachaug Trail Guide

The Pachaug Trail runs 25 miles running through Voluntown, Sterling, Plainfield, and Griswold.  The trail passes ponds and reservoirs, Hell Hollow, the overlook at Mount Misery, and the Rhododendron Sanctuary.

There are also connections to the Nehantic, Quinebaug, and Narragansett Trails allowing for longer loops and backpacking options.

I hiked the trail with Mat Jobin for a ‘CT Trails Day’ hike in 2019.
