History

The gorge through which the Farmington River flows has been known as "Satan’s Kingdom" since at least the 1820s. The recreation area was added to the roll of Connecticut state parks in 2012.

Tube rentals are offered by a concessionaire. A 2.5-mile (4.0 km) trip encounters three sets of rapids. 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.
