Devil's Hopyard State Park, located in East Haddam, Connecticut, is a scenic state park known for its striking natural features and outdoor recreational opportunities. The park spans over 1,000 acres and is famous for its Chapman Falls, where the Eightmile River cascades over a series of dramatic rock formations. The park's name is shrouded in local legend, with tales attributing the "devil" moniker to the unusual pothole formations at the base of the falls, believed to have been created by the devil himself or by Native American spirits. Visitors to Devil's Hopyard can enjoy hiking, picnicking, bird-watching, and fishing.
