Wooster Mountain State Park Scenic Reserve
About
Wooster Mountain State Park Scenic Reserve is a 646-acre state park in Connecticut, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits about 0.7 miles from the town of Lakes East, making it an easy stop for a short outing close to home. The reserve includes one spot for fishing or paddling within its boundaries, so bringing a rod or a boat is an option alongside time on foot. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from the nearby Danbury airport weather station run from highs around 69°F in May to about 74°F in September, with July warming to around 82°F. More trails lie within a couple of miles: Knapp Trail and East Starrs Plain Road White Trail are each about 1.2 miles away. The Still River offers canoeing roughly 3.4 miles off, and the bouldering at King Boulder is about 3.8 miles away.
