The Nehantic Trail stretches between Green Fall Pond Recreation Area in Voluntown and Hopeville Pond State Park in Griswold. The trail is primarily in the 30,000 acre Pachaug State Forest and travels through white pine and hardwood forests and passes open fields. At the summit of Mount Misery (441 feet) expect to see a spectacular, sweeping vista of the forested landscapes encompassing the towns of Voluntown and Sterling. Sections of the trail are characterized by gentle hills and exposed ledges. The trail passes several abandoned mill sites situated near brooks that once powered mills. The Nehantic can be linked with the adjoining Narragansett, Quinebaug and Pachaug trails, as well as other side trails and woods roads, for longer hiking adventures.
