Nature
Pond Mountain, a summit in New Fairfield, Connecticut, stands within Pootatuck State Forest and is accessible to hikers from nearby Squantz Pond State Park. The area was originally part of the lands of the Schaghiticoke tribe, and the mountain was especially significant during the sachemship of Squantz, leader of the Potatuck until his death around 1725. Council Rock on the mountain served as an important vantage point and meeting place for the tribe, linking the site’s present scenic appeal to its deeper Native history.
