Review:

Open throughout the year, Penwood State Park is an 800-acre natural space that is perfect for the entire family. The public recreation area was established in 1944, spans 787 acres, and is located on the end of Talcott Mountain. The history of the state park dates back to 1944 when industrialist, inventor, and outdoors person, Curtis H. Veeder donated the land to the state so that it would be kept in a natural state for nature lovers to enjoy for many years to come. He blazed many of the original trails in the park which people can still hike through today. The Metacomet Trail is a popular option and runs through the entire length of the park.
