Burr Pond State Park

Trails and shoreline recreation provide opportunities to combine a walk with time beside the water in Connecticut’s northwestern hills.

Check current swimming conditions, seasonal services and trail notices before traveling. The photograph shows the pond landscape. Boats, fishing and picnic facilities follow separate rules, and an alcohol ban applies. Water access should use designated areas; winter ice, shoreline mud and unstaffed swimming periods require particular care when choosing an activity.
