Devil's Hopyard State Park
Devil's Hopyard State Park is a state park located in the town of East Haddam, Connecticut at scenic Chapman Falls on the Eightmile River. The park is used for hiking, stream fishing, bird watching, bicycling, picnicking, camping, and youth group camping.〔
==History==
In 1775, the Sons of Liberty attacked a mill owned by pro-British loyalists on this site. A portion of the broken millstone was found at the foot of the falls in 2002. The story is related in signs that were erected after the discovery (pictured at left).
The park's falls powered "Beebe's Mills" (named after the original owner) until the 1890s.〔 The site was acquired by the state for use as a state park in 1919 in response to logging operations that were taking place in the area.
On March 26, 2012, a large brush fire occurred in the park. Firefighters from fourteen towns worked to control the blaze, including burning out the area behind two threatened households. The fire consumed more than fifty acres of the park over two days before authorities decided to let it burn itself out. It is unclear how the fire started, but officials noted that hikers may have been the cause.
