Everyone remembers their old stomping grounds they would visit whilst outgrowing their teenage years. Living in Connecticut there is not much to see other than woods almost everywhere around you. One of the highlights growing up in such an area, was hanging out at Devils Hopyard State Park located in East Haddam Connecticut. Being a misinformed gullible youth at the time, there were many rumors that circulated behind the origin of the name. Stories of devil worshiping and witchcraft plagued its visitors conscious as they hiked through the amazing scenic landscape of waterfalls, cliffs, and various forest dwellers. In the end, Devils Hopyard was some what of an escape to say the least. Not like there is much to escape from in Connecticut to begin with, but it was always nice to visit a place surrounded by such folklore and history.
