Connecticut Lakes State Forest is a 1,648-acre (667 ha) state forest in the town of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, in the United States. The forest forms a narrow strip on either side of U.S. Route 3, running south from the Canadian border around Third and south past Second Connecticut Lake before ending up short of First Connecticut Lake. The area is known for its moose viewing opportunities in late spring and summer during the mornings and evenings, earning it the name nickname "Moose Alley".[1]
