From The Campground
Steeped in history, legend and lore, Mashamoquet Brook offers hiking, camping, and fishing for the whole family. Named after the Mohegan word for “stream of good fishing”, the park was once the domain of the Mohegan Chief, Uncas. Later, Captain John Sabin built a house here to serve as an outpost and the settlement gradually increased in size. Today’s 1,000+ acre park is the combination of three parks: the original Mashamoquet Brook, Wolf Den, and Saptree Run. The park’s most famous feature is the Wolf Den. Legend has it that on a night in 1742, Israel Putnam, later a Major General in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, crept into the den and shot Connecticut’s last documented wolf. The wolf was notorious for preying upon local sheep and livestock and Putnam was heralded for the slaying. The site was added to the National Historic Places in 1985 and a plaque at the entrance of the den recounts the story. Near the Den are two other natural stone formations: the Table Rock, a big flat shelf of rock, and Indian Chair, a wide seat-shaped ledge that looks like — you guessed it — a chair.
