Dark Entry Forest, Inc.
so, Dark Entry Forest inc, being a resident of the northwest cornor of the state of connecticut i figured i might ask you a question. I'm an amature folkloreist and i know very much about the legend of dudleytown, now i just wonder why you don't let anyone enter this little nugget of connecticut folklore. I mean there is some major business to be had selling entry permits to folkloreist such as myself, paranormal enthusiest, curious residents, ect. just an idea.
Preservation of the woodlands...???
hmm closed to the public? i live in ct and it IS pretty creepy in some parts but i wonder why they are closing it down for 9 days...why nine days?
I would think because Halloween peaks visitors in the area?
are they ever going to open this area up to the public again? i had heard some stuff about Dudleytown and so i started researching i have found alot about it and very curios and anxious to check it out for myself. I was just wondering if there will ever be oppurtunity to legally go and see it.

"News Release"

Dark Entry Forest, Inc. is privately owned land which is posted thoroughly with "No Trespassing" and "No Parking" signs on all roadways leading into the area known as Dudleytown. Dudleytown is not on state property, nor is it in a state forest; therefore this property is not open to the public.

The owners of Dark Entry Forest, Inc. will seek the arrest and prosecution of all trespassers to the full extent of the law. Additionally, parking is prohibited on the roads leading into Dark Entry Forest and owners will be ticketed and vehicles will be towed should they be blocking vehicular traffic and/or driveways.
This year Law Enforcement Officers have been summoned 79 times to the Dark Entry Forest area, resulting in arrests for criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, illegal parking and littering. We will also assist the police by obtaining vehicle registration numbers and photographing them for evidence in citizen complaints.
Dark Entry Forest, Inc. regrets having to take these measures, but we are dedicated to the preservation of our fragile woodlands, as well as our own peace and tranquility.
In conjunction with this News Release, the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association will close a section of the Mohawk Trail to the public for nine days, from the Dark Entry Road entrance to the Cornwall Village entrance, beginning Saturday, October 27.

Isn't the whole point of woodlands to enjoy them. Hikers are good things. Bet this is one fo those towns that allows ATV's to go all over the forest though.
