Housatonic Meadows State Park

Sharon, CT

Located in the rock-strewn valley of the Housatonic River amid the rugged hills of the northwestern uplands, Housatonic Meadows is an ideal setting for a variety of outdoor recreational activities. Camp under the tall pines on the riverbank for that genuine back-to-nature feeling. Test your skills on trout and bass in the clear, cold river water (catch and release fly fishing only, trout stamp required). A two-mile stretch of river (including the park shore) is limited to fly fishing. In 1927, Housatonic Meadows was established as a state park.
