Like a J.R.R. Tolkien book, Mashamoquet Brook State Park is rich with legend and lore. The most famous tale is of Israel Putnam who, in 1742, crept into a wolf den and shot a wolf that had preyed upon local farm animals for years. That very same wolf den can still be visited in the park today, where you can craft your own tale of heroism.
After you’ve saved the day, there’s still lots of the park to explore. The name Mashamoquet is Indian for “stream of good fishing,” so it’s no surprise the catches here are fat and frequent. Pull up a lawn chair by the water and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. When night falls, warm fires from the campground beckon. When day breaks, it’s time for a whole new adventure.

The Mashamoquet Brook Campground has fewer sites than the Wolf Den Campground (+1 for solitude), plus these sites are wooded (+1 for nature). Sure, Wolf Den Campground also offers showers and fancy restrooms, but stay here and you trade those creature comforts you enjoy on the daily for a little more privacy and space.

The Wolf Den Campground offers more sites than Mashamoquet Brook Campground, and also restrooms and showers (hey, it matters!). When you’re all showered and gussied up for adventure, check out the Table Rock and Indian Chair Stone formations, or hit up the old grist mill near the entrance that is maintained to this day as a museum.
