Pachaug Pursuit 2025
Pachaug Forest is lucky to be home of one of the lengthy blue trail loops in the state of Connecticut - The Pachaug and Nehantic Trails unite to form a fabulous loop! For 2025, we’re looking for some adventurous travelers to go the distance and complete the full trail at your own pace and time. All at once, wow! In several sections? You bet. A mile at a time - way to go! Any and all breakdowns accepted, but you have to complete the full circuit between February 1, 2025 and November 30, 2025. Contact pelstrom72@hotmail.com with questions.
