Cornwall
is a small town located in scenic Litchfield County in the northwest corner of Connecticut. It has a population of approximately 1,450 and lies on the east bank of the Housatonic River. Called "The greenest town in Connecticut and home to the famous covered bridge," Cornwall also contains a major portion of the Mohawk State Forest. The covered bridge that is referenced is the West Cornwall Bridge, which is one of only three covered bridges in Litchfield County. This much-photographed covered bridge is 242 feet long and spans the Housatonic River. It's been in continuous operation since 1864. Other attractions in Cornwall include Cathedral Pines, a 42-acre nature conservatory and old growth forest, the historic Cornwall Bridge Railroad Station, and the Cornwall Farmer's Market. The entire area is filled with antique shops, picturesque vistas, fine dining, country inns and cozy bed & breakfasts. Cornwall is also home to a large number of artists who are inspired by the natural beauty of the area. The Mohawk State Forest offers panoramic views of the gorgeous forests and hills from a lookout tower and overlooks. Activities in the state park include hiking, pond and stream fishing, picnicking, and skiing. Youth group camping are also located inside the Mohawk State Forest.
