Indian Well State Park

- Regional draw
- Shelton
Indian Well State Park follows the Housatonic River in Shelton, combining river scenery with wooded trails and a waterfall landscape.
Its different areas suit a short scenic stop or a longer outdoor visit.
Check current state information for beach opening, water quality and trail conditions. Swimming belongs only in the designated area when permitted, not at the waterfall or in its pool. The photograph shows an earlier river sunset rather than present water conditions. Choose the appropriate entrance for the activity you intend, and observe separate rules for fishing, picnicking and organized group use.
