If you are looking to take in some beautiful scenery in south-central Connecticut, visit the Devil’s Hopyard in East Haddam. Home to a beautiful waterfall and rich history, this park covers 860 acres. During Revolutionary times, Dr. Abner Beebe owned a mill situated on the falls until it was destroyed by locals due to his allegiance to England. There are pothole shaped stones at the bottom of Chapman Falls where local legend has it that the Devil is responsible for creating these holes.
Chapman Falls is the main star of the park, followed by a close second with this beautiful covered bridge.
The covered bridge crosses a creek within the Devil’s Hopyard park.
A pool forms at the bottom of Chapman Falls, which flows through the Eight-Mile River.
Hiking on one of the trails will bring you to a canyon formed by two giant rocks.
