Satan's Kingdom State Recreation Area is a public recreation area in the town of New Hartford, Connecticut, that is used as a put-in for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing on the Farmington River.[2] It was added to the roll of Connecticut state parks in 2012.[3] Rentals are offered by a concessionaire. Rides of 2.5 miles (4.0 km) encounter three sets of rapids on the river.[4] The 1-acre (0.40 ha) site is located on the north side of the Route 44 bridge over the Farmington River. Hiking trails in neighboring Nepaug State Forest, including the Tunxis Trail, are accessible from Satan's Kingdom Road on the south side of the bridge.[5]
