McConnells Mill State Park

McConnells Mill State Park contains 2,546 acres the vast majority being comprised of forested areas. Much of the forested areas on the steep slopes of the gorge are believed to be old growth or very old secondary growth. The eastern hemlock is the dominant species in much of the park forest, however a mixture of hardwoods including oak, beech and maple are found throughout the mixed Mesophytic forest type. Several trees are known to be at or near state records, including a sugar maple and cucumber magnolia. According to the park resource management plan, written in 1998, some of the older growth hemlock trees are estimated between 154-251 years old at that time and measuring 13 to 23 inches in diameter.
