Pine Ledge

Pine Ledge

Pine Ledge is a remote section of Cockaponset State Forest located about a half mile west of Deep River, Connecticut. This area gets it's name from a dramatic ledge of rocks along it's eastern edge.

Recreation

It is recommended to have a high-clearance vehicle when visiting this area; the access roads are very rugged and may become thick with mud after a heavy rain or during the spring melt. Even though the use of all-terrain-vehicles has not been officially designated, the Pine Ledge area has become very popular among local riders. Jeeps and 4X4 off-road vehicles have also utilized some of the old abandoned access roads as trails. There are some hiking trails used primarily by the locals and a popular rock climbing destination along the rocks at Pine Ledge.
