ZOAR TRAIL, Newtown - Seasonal Closure

Hikers on the Zoar Trail are reminded to follow the alternate Blue/Yellow Dot Trail between April 15 and August 15 inclusive (Connecticut Walk Book West, page 62, 1.8 mile mark). Located in the lower Paugusset State Forest in Newtown, this forested section of the trail is closed during the spring and summer to protect nesting hawks and other vulnerable wildlife.
