I love Bigelow Hollow state park. Nipmuck state forest and Natchaug state forest are both very nice as well.

Between exits 73 and 74 on I84, near Union CT. Pretty much right before you hit the state line at Sturbridge MA. Bigelow Hollow is up there on the other side of I84 as well.

There are so many! The two longest are Nipmuck an Natchaug. Nipmuck Trail goes from Mansfield Hollow State Park near UConn all the way to the MA border at Bigelow Hollow State Park. Natchaug Trail goes from Godwin State Park through Natchaug State Forest to Nipmuck Trail in Yale-Meyers Forest. There are tons of small local trails, many can be seen on openstreetmap.org.

West Thompson Dam has awesome trails all around it. There's this other one, Furnace something, with a lake and a good hike and great eastward views. You're not far from Leadmine in Sturbridge and Moore in Spencer up in Mass, and the Airline Trail's northern section goes right into Douglas State Forest which has an awesome bridge trail through the cedar swamp.

Almost forgot Bull Hill in Woodstock for a great sunset.
