The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at a 'very high' or 'extreme' level.

Haze Cameras

Air pollution negatively affects human health and causes haze that decreases visibility. Assessing visibility can help indicate the concentrations of particulate matter and other pollutants in the air. The Air Bureau monitors visibility at three sites in Connecticut: Talcott Mountain (Avon), Criscuolo Park (New Haven), and Mohawk Mountain (Cornwall). The Talcott Mountain haze camera monitors air quality over Hartford. Also, please visit www.hazecam.net for other Northeast visibility webcams. Link to Clear Day Image
