Minnie Island State Park

Bozrah/Montville, CT

Clocking in at just 0.88 acres, Connecticut’s smallest state park packs a big punch. A secluded gem perched in the tranquil waters of Gardner Lake, the park is accessible only to those willing to paddle their way to its shores. Head to this idyllic spot for an afternoon of picnicking, kayaking, and solitude.
