Hopemead State Park

Montville/Bozrah, CT

Undeveloped with just a single dirt road cutting through the lush forest, Hopemead State Park is a slice of solitude on the banks of Gardner Lake. The 60-acre park more than makes up for its lack of creature comforts with its untamed natural beauty, serenity, and actual creatures! It’s the perfect place to cast a line, spot wildlife, or just get away from it all.
