Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area

Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area
Mansfield & Windham

You’re not going to find too many references to the Mansfield Hollow Wildlife Management Area. But in reality, the WMA has more land acreage than the state park. But it’s all one chunk of land and lake, so it’s ridiculous for me to even make this distinction.

The damming of the Natchaug River by the Army Corps of Engineers has created a 500-acre lake for boating and fishing. Mansfield Hollow was established as a park in 1952 and seems to be co-managed by the USACE. There’s also the historic village of Mansfield Hollow and… all I care about here is the hiking. So let’s hike already.
