Roadside rest areas are usually a place where pull off the highway to gas up, grab a bite to eat, and use the facilities. Most of us stay for under 20 minutes and it’s simply someplace we visit out of necessity and convenience. But Frog Rock Rest Stop is a kooky little destination of its own in Connecticut that you’ll actually look forward to visiting.

Experience this funky roadside stand off of Route 44 between Pomfret and Eastford.

What was once just a pull-off on the side of the road with a painted rock that looks like a frog and a few stone picnic tables has been transformed into a traveler's destination. This historic area has been around for decades, but now it's more than just a spot to picnic and stretch your legs.
