HistoryEdit
The park was donated to the state in 1954. It is one of several Connecticut state parks that were acquired with funds bequeathed by George Dudley Seymour for the purpose of purchasing recreational areas for public use.
Activities and amenitiesEdit
The park includes a five-acre tidal estuary with ramp for car-top boating. A trail leads to the top of a 183-foot (56 m) hill that was used by Native Americans as a lookout.
