Description
This area was once the Tunxis Native American tribe's hunting and fishing grounds. After discovery by English pioneer Samuel Hubbard in 1749 much of it was converted to open pasture and farmland. Under protection, the forest is regenerating with typical northern conifers and hardwoods. The Hubbard River drops 450 feet (140 m) in 2.5 miles (4.0 km), forming pools and waterfalls as it passes over various rock formations.
