What is Orenaug Mountain?
What is Orenaug Mountain?
Orenaug Mountain is a 78.45-acre town park located in Woodbury, Connecticut. The park is situated on a basalt (trap rock) ridge overlooking the Pomperaug River Valley, which stretches into Southbury, the home of Orenaug Mountain Publishing.
The main entrance to Orenaug Park is flanked by two stone columns with stones that have been cultivated from all 50 states. The red-blazed fire trail begins there and leads to an observation tower.
The mountain is named after the Orenaug tribe of Native Americans, who once lived in the area. The tribe's name means "place of the great rocks" and is known for its dramatic formations and natural amphitheater.
