The terrain is largely defined by a hill that rises to 125 m (410 ft) above sea level . A tributary of the Purchase Brook , which itself flows into the Housatonic River after a short distance , leads north. The Great Woods Walk in particular is a popular hiking trail. On the opposite bank of Lake Lilinonah is the Upper Paugussett State Forest .
