Join us for a 3 mile group hike through the Historic Pequot Woods in Mystic, sponsored by the Mystic River Historical Society. Pequot Woods Park is a 140 acre park featuring hiking trails, a pond, streams, stone and wooden bridges, and viewing benches. We will traverse a 3-mile loop trail, covering moderate terrain with minimal elevation. This hike is suitable for families, and is pet-friendly (dogs must be leashed). Please note that the trail can be muddy and wet, so please wear appropriate footwear.
A short distance away from Pequot Woods Park, a famous battle was fought in 1637, known to historians as The Massacre at Mystic. A force of colonists and their allies attacked the Mystic fort of the widely-feared Pequot Tribe. After the attack, the battle continued westward through what is now known as the Pequot Woods. Artifacts from that encounter are still being found and cataloged today.
