Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

November 1 BEST PLACE ON EARTH by Forest Ranger Sam

My visit to the Sutton State Forest was the most magical experience of my life. It is truely a hidden gem in the world. I saw a plethera of magestic wildlife on my adventure in the Sutton State Forest. The town in which the forest resides is truely lovely and the people are just great! Teddy Roosevelt himself couldnt be more pleased with the care the great people of Sutton take in preserving the wilderness. My trip was truely amazing and i cant wait to go back on my anual trip. Live. Laugh. Love. and Camp.

May 11 Marked Trails

We too got very lost out there for several hours! If the trails were marked, it could have helped us! At least point the way out when you get to a cross trails.

October 13 I wish the trails were marked by Lori Light

It is a very beautiful area but there were no marks telling you which trails led where and it can get confusingas there are many trails in the area and it was our first time visiting from Connecticut
