About Macedonia Brook State Park

This 2,300-acre park in Kent has more than 10 miles of trails, some among the steepest climbs in Connecticut. The blue-blazed Macedonia Ridge Trail crosses Cobble Mountain and other peaks with views west to the Catskill and Taconic mountains, which are at their brightest in fall. A 51-site campground opens in late May, and anglers fish the park's streams. Day use is free, and only campsites carry a fee.
