Macedonia Brook State Park is a 2,300-acre park located in Kent, Connecticut, near the New York state border. The park offers a variety of activities for visitors, including hiking, camping, fishing, and picnicking.

One of the main attractions in the park is the Macedonia Brook, which flows through the park and provides opportunities for fishing and swimming. The Cobble Mountain Trail is a popular hiking trail that offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

There are also several campgrounds within the park, including one that is accessible only by boat. Visitors can rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats from the park or bring their own.

Interesting facts about the area include the fact that the park was originally purchased in 1918 by the Macedonia Society of New York, which intended to use the land for a summer camp for children of Macedonian immigrants. However, the camp was never built, and the land was eventually sold to the state of Connecticut in 1954.

The best time of year to visit Macedonia Brook State Park is in the spring and fall, when the weather is cooler and the foliage is at its peak. However, the park is also open year-round and offers winter activities such as cross-country skiing and ice fishing.
