What the community has to say about Devil's Hopyard State Park

Information about this business (2)

About Us:In 1919, the former State Park and Forest Commission obtained an 860 acre parcel located in the Millington section of Haddam. The principle feature of the park, Chapman Falls drops more than sixty feet over a series of steps in a Scotland Schist stone formation. The falls also once powered "Beebe's Mills" which were named after the original owner. The mills operated until the mid...

The name Devil's Hopyard may conjure up images of a fiery place - but water is the main attraction. Legend has it that the devil hopped through the state park's waterfalls, burning holes in the rock with his hooves. These holes, some up to a foot deep, definitely make the state park unique. Cascading more than 60 feet over a bedrock of schist, the largest fall at Devil's Hopyard is Chapman...

Business description (2)

Could the round holes in the falls really be the work of the devil? Or, just nature and water making their mark for future generations? Visit Devil's Hopyard and find your own answer to this age-old mystery.

This large state park in the Millington section of East Haddam is marked by the 60-foot Chapman Falls, where water cascades over a series of steps known as a Scotland Schist, composed of gray to silvery, rusty rocks. Local legend details the pothole stone formations in the falls are the work of the devil, who upon becoming angered over wetting his tail at the falls, then stomped so hard his...
