Wooster Mountain State Park is an undeveloped public recreation area within Danbury, Connecticut, covering 444 acres and managed as a natural state park. Established in 1920 as Connecticut’s twenty-third state park from an initial 100-acre purchase, it took its name from General David Wooster, who pursued retreating British troops from Danbury in 1777 and was mortally wounded in that action, linking the landscape to a Revolutionary War episode. From 1935 to 1937, the Civilian Conservation Corps cleared trees infected with Dutch elm disease there. Today the park supports hiking, hunting, the Ives Trail, and shooting activities at the cooperative range.
