Trail Overview

Shaped like a lollipop, hikers enter through Town of Woodstock open space on a blue/white blazed connector trail. A blue-blazed trail then loops through the beautiful Hibbard Forest, a 100- acre forestland that features undulating topography, stonewalls, mixed hardwood forest and extensive wetlands. The Hibbard Forest was generously donated in fee to CFPA by John Hibbard, a beloved conservation hero and long-time CFPA Executive Director. The trail was built by volunteers and CFPA’s Summer Trail Crew with the help and support of the Woodstock Conservation Commission. The Wabbaquasset Trail is named in honor of the local Wabbaquasset band of the Nipmuc Tribe.

Parking is available at small dirt pull-off just beyond the Muddy Pond Town Beach on Pond Factory Rd.

CFPA acknowledges we are on the traditional lands of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the Mohegans, the Eastern Pequot, Schaghticoke, Golden Hill Paugussett, Nipmuc, and Niantic peoples. We pay our respect to the Indigenous people who are no longer here due to colonization, forced relocation, disease, and warfare. We thank them for stewarding this land throughout generations. We recognize the continued presence of Indigenous people on this territory who have survived attempted genocide, and who still hold ties to the land spiritually and culturally. We shall be good stewards of the land we all call Quinnentucket, Connecticut.
