Geography:
Located along the southern border of Massachusetts in the towns of Granville and Tolland, Granville State Forest's 2,426 acres borders with Connecticut's 9,152 acre Tunxis State Forest. This extensive rolling terrain was once the hunting and fishing ground of the Tunxis tribe, later becoming open farmland and pastures; now slowly reverting back into a northern hardwood-conifer forest. In 1749 the first English pioneer to this area, Samuel Hubbard, settled along the banks of the river now bearing his name. Walk along the Hubbard River through natural rock formations that form pools and waterfalls, dropping a rapid 450 feet in 2.5 miles.
