My sensors picked up strange rock formations, including large potholes in the waterfalls that are locally called Devil's Post Office. Strangely, these potholes are perfectly circular with smooth edges, unlike anything I have seen before. The park's name came from colonial days when people believed that the Devil was brewing beer in the potholes. I found no evidence to support this legend. The park is also home to the endangered timber rattlesnake, a fascinating creature. I compared the park's geology, flora, and fauna to other parts of Connecticut that I have visited, and the difference is stark. I believe that this park is an anomaly.
