GEOCACHING
If you love mixing technology and the outdoors, geocaching may be the perfect activity for you. It involves searching for hidden objects in the landscape with coordinates and clues. Goodwin State Forest is home to a few geocaches. Try and find the secret treasure! Go to https://coord.info/GC19ZHE |

TRAIL CLOSURES
The portion of the Blue/Yellow Trail between Cannon Road and the Blue Trail is currently closed for safety purposes during a forest harvest which will remove standing dead hazard trees near the trail. Trees are being felled and logs moved with large machinery. It would be very dangerous to be in the area. Please use the Blue Trail as an alternate. The Blue Trail will remain open during the harvest and portions closed for only a few minutes at a time as trees are felled near it. Thank you.
For further information please contact
Forester Edward McGuire at Shenipsit State Forest Headquarters at 860-324-9475.
Due to considerable tree mortality (gypsy moth, drought, 2-lined chestnut borer, and other issues), the trail sections marked in black below will be closed until further notice.
IT IS UNSAFE TO BE IN THESE AREAS.
Tree removal has begun in order to make the trails safe to pass.
If you need more information, please contact Matthew Quinn
