TS Isaias Impacts

Many of CT’s State Parks, State Forests and State Campgrounds were impacted by Tropical Storm ISAIAS. We are working hard to open parks, forests and campgrounds as soon as it is safe to do so. An updated list of which facilities are open and closed can be found here.

CT State Parks and Forests 

Your go-to outdoor place!  Located around the state, our 110 state parks and 32 state forests offer a place for every outdoor enthusiast to refresh and recharge by  visiting recreation areas, museums, and nature centers all while enjoying our state's historic, cultural and natural resources.   

COVID-19 Operation Updates

The trails and grounds of Connecticut State Parks and Forests are open for solitary outdoor enjoyment. If you plan to visit a park, it should be for solitary recreation, not group activities. At inland State Parks, swimming is prohibited and beaches there are closed. Please plan ahead as many amenities and indoor facilities are closed, and visitors must practice social distancing.
