Location Details
The Sprague Land Preserve, formerly known as the Mukluk Preserve, was purchased by the Town of Sprague in 2005 with the help of a Land Acquisition grant from the state's Department of Environmental Protection. Residents and visitors are welcome to take in the beautiful setting, wooded trails, and area wildlife. Located just below the Scotland Dam on the right side of the Shetucket River, 1 mile of river front can also be enjoyed.
