At Penwood State Park, eight hiking trails lead you on a journey through fall delights - valleys, rolling wooded hills, lakes, and ponds. In winter, they entice cross-country skiiers. Spring wildflowers such as trillium and dutchman's breeches carpet the forest floor come April, and birdwatchers may catch sight of pileated woodpeckers or bald eagles, any time of year. Located right next to Talcott Mountain State Park, Penwood is a year-round treasure of its own and well worth a visit.
