A rugged, heavily wooded wildlife management area near the Vermont border with dense forest, open meadows, and wetlands. Trails are mostly unmarked and easy to lose, cell service is poor to nonexistent, and the area also permits written-permission target practice, so blaze orange is recommended year-round.

Is Satan's Kingdom good for a casual hike?
Not really. The one marked route is a moderate-to-strenuous 2.6-mile out-and-back, but most of the acreage is unmarked crisscrossing paths through dense forest and wetland, and cell service drops out fast.
Can I bring my dog to Satan's Kingdom Wildlife Management Area?
Leashed WMA rule applies; a firsthand dog-hiking account confirms dogs are permitted on these trails.
