Connecticut Waterfront Updates
This website provides information on the status of DEEP swimming areas throughout the state to help you plan ahead. Please note that information is updated frequently but may not reflect all daily capacity closures.
Things to Consider Before You Go
- Plan ahead! Check CT State Parks on Twitter for daily closure information before you head out for the day.
- Choose a less popular location. Some of our most-loved parks will reach capacity and will close for the day. Try visiting a new, hidden gem location.
- If you’re planning to visit a popular park or beach, consider visiting early in the day or on a weekday to avoid closures.
- Carry out what you carry in. Bring your own garbage bag and make sure you leave no trace. Help us keep our parks safe, beautiful and free from litter!
- Where lifeguards are not posted, please use extra caution.
- Plan an alternative activity. If the location is closed or too crowded when you arrive, consider going for a hike at a nearby park, or other outdoor activity. It is important to get fresh air, sunlight, and exercise!
