Kent Falls State Park

Kent Falls State Park ist ein State Park auf dem Gebiet der New England town Kent, Connecticut. Er liegt in den Litchfield Hills, in den südlichen Berkshire Mountains. Die Kent Falls eine Folge von Wasserfällen am Falls Brook, einem Zufluss des Housatonic River. Die Kaskaden überwinden 76 Höhenmeter auf einer Strecke von etwa 400 m. Die größte Kaskade stürzt mehr als 21 m tief in ein Bassin, bevor das Wasser in die tiefer gelegenen Wasserfälle strömt. Das ist die wichtigste Sehenswürdigkeit des Parks. Darüber hinaus gibt es Möglichkeiten zum Wandern, Angeln und Picknicken. Eine nachgebaute Gedeckte Brücke ermöglicht Besuchern den Zugang zu den Wasserfällen. Der State Park ist nach Osten mit dem Wyantenock State Forest verbunden. Etwa einen Kilometer weiter südlich gibt es einen Park, der in privater Hand ist: Kent Falls State Park, Leased to Sloane-Stanley Mu. (Sloane-Stanley war eine Eisenhütte, mit einer Bahnlinie, die auch durch den Park führt.) Verkehr Die State Route No. 7 (Kent Cornwall Road) und die Dugan Road durchschneiden den Park. Der Appalachian Trail verläuft am Housatonic auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer, nordwestlich des Parks. Geschichte Der indianische Name für die Wasserfälle ist Scatacook und es gibt Hinweise darauf, dass das Gebiet von Indianern als Zeltplatz und Fischgrund benutzt wurde. In der Kolonialzeit wurden die Wasserfälle zum Antrieb von Mühlen genutzt. Das Gebiet wurde 1919 unter Schutz gestellt, nachdem die White Memorial Foundation das Grundstück dem State of Connecticut zum Geschenk gemacht hatte. Erschließungs- und Restaurierungsarbeiten wurden in den 1970er Jahren vom Youth Conservation Corps of America geleistet. 2006 wurden Besucherplattformen entlang des Wanderweges eingerichtet und an der Basis der Wasserfälle ein gepflasterter Zugang zu einem der Becken gebaut.

Kent Falls State Park

Kent Falls State Park is a public recreation area located in the town of Kent, Connecticut, within the Litchfield Hills region of the southern Berkshires. The state park is home to Kent Falls, a series of waterfalls on Falls Brook, a tributary of the Housatonic River. The falls drop 250 feet (76 m) in under a quarter mile. The largest cascade drops more than 70 feet (21 m) into a reflecting pool, before traveling over the lesser falls. History The Indian name of the falls is Scatacook, and there is evidence that the area was used by Native Americans for fishing and camping. Mills stood along the brook during colonial times. Kent Falls was established as a state park after 200 acres (81 ha) of land was given to the state in 1919 as a gift from philanthropist Alain C. White through his White Memorial Foundation. Workers with the Civil Works Administration contributed to the park's development in the 1930s. In the 1970s, trail reconstruction was done by the Youth Conservation Corps of America. In 2006, observation platforms were constructed along a trail next to the falls; at the base of the falls, a terraced observation area paved with native flag stones was created to allow access to a calm-water wading pool. Activities and amenities The park has a replica of a covered bridge that allows visitors to cross the brook and access the falls. In addition to its scenery, the park offers hiking, fishing, and picnicking.

Kettletown State Park

Kettletown State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Southbury am Ostufer des Lake Zoar, einem Stausee des Housatonic River. Auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer erstreckt sich der Paugusett State Forest. Der Park bietet Möglichkeiten zum Bootfahren, Schwimmen, Angeln und Wandern. ^Geschichte Das Gebiet wurde nach dem Kettletown Brook benannt, nachdem zuerst Indianer des Pootatuck-Stammes der Algonkin-Gruppe dort siedelten. Das Gebiet gehörte zum "Pleasant Vale". Die Milchvieh-Farmen, die dort entstanden waren, wurden aufgegeben, als besseres Weideland zugänglich wurde, und 1919 errichtete die Connecticut Light and Power Company den Stevenson Dam, der große Flächen überflutete. Der Stausee ist die fünftgrößte Wasserfläche in Connecticut. Geologie Die geologischen Formationen des Parks sind weitgehend durch die Eiszeiten geprägt. Es gibt viele Moränen und an verschiedenen Stellen finden sich Findlinge. Insgesamt ist die Geologie ähnlich wie in dem nahegelegenen Penwood State Park.

All of the students throughout the school share 4 counselors, one for each grade, in addition to one "Student Support Counselor."

King Philip opened in September 1955, with 345 students, and a teaching staff of 17. The school day was made up of 7 periods. During the 1961-1962 school year, French and Spanish were offered as electives two periods per week. During the fifth period of the day, the entire school studied or elected a music activity. Clubs and athletic activities were carried out before and after school. Some 7th and 9th grade students were offered accelerated programs. Now, world language is considered an academic, so it is taught every day for students taking it. For the 1962-1963 year, a flexible form of individualized scheduling was introduced, and block scheduling was eliminated. Also, a reading consultant was provided for 3 days a week for additional help. King Philip Middle School was a Blue Ribbon School in 1986–87. In 2016, Mandarin Chinese was added as a world language opportunity for the middle school. References External links Official website

Kline Biology Tower

Kline Tower is a skyscraper in New Haven, Connecticut. Formerly Kline Biology Tower, this building is currently the tallest on the Yale University campus and the sixth-tallest building in New Haven.

Lake Hayward is a natural spring-fed lake situated just north of Devil's Hopyard State Park in the northeastern corner of East Haddam, Connecticut, and is bordered by the towns of Colchester and Salem. Lake Hayward, formerly known as Long Pond by the native tribes who inhabited its shores, as well as Newton Pond and Shaw Lake, is now named for Nathaniel Hayward. In 1838, Charles Goodyear, of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, and Nathaniel Hayward were partners in a rubber mill which operated in Massachusetts. In 1847 after breaking away from Goodyear's company, Mr. Hayward established a factory in Colchester, Connecticut to manufacture shoes. Mr. Hayward remained in Colchester, Connecticut, until his death in the 1860s. During the time he was residing in Colchester, he purchased land for hunting along Shaw's pond on the north east edge of East Haddam, Connecticut, where a grist mill was operating. After Nathaniel Hayward's death, Shaw's Pond was renamed Lake Hayward in his honor, as well as Hayward Avenue in Colchester. Lake Hayward is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide. Its surface area is 174 acres (70 ha), and its elevation is 348 feet (106 m) above sea level. The lake has an average depth of 11 feet (3.4 m) and a maximum depth of 37 feet (11 m). The lake has four private beaches and does not allow motorboats with gasoline engines. The western side of the lake is overseen and monitored by the local homeowners association, the Property Owners Association of Lake Hayward (POALH).
