One of the newer Connecticut State Parks, the Connecticut
River Greenway State Park features miles of fun on and off the water,
with numerous interesting stop-off points, including Nowottuck State
Rail Trail, Mount Sugarloaf State Reservoir and the Great Falls Discovery
Center at Turner Falls. The park and open spaces along its length proved
a nice variety of activities, including hiking, camping, picnicking,
and accessible bathrooms.
Whether one wants scenic vistas, unspoiled natural beauty or just a
chance to float and relax, the Connecticut River Greenway State Park
can serve it up. The Connecticut River has 8 access points within the
parks boundaries. Motorized boats are not permitted, which means there
won’t be any noise to scare the river’s numerous fish away
from happy anglers. Anglers are advised to make sure they have a valid
Connecticut Fishing License.12 miles of shoreline within the park also
enjoys permanent protections status to preserve the pristine environment.
