Kettletown State Park

"Wonderful park for hiking. During the off season you can park near the kiosk in front and walk the dogs or whatever down the main park road to the campground with no entrance fee and no traffic. The loop trail to Jackson Cove is a challenging and rewarding hike."

"Very nice, beautiful park!! Staff was helpful and polite. Loved camping near the water. This park has so many great qualities!! Only drawback is the bathhouse. From our campsite we had to walk up a very steep, rocky hill. Would be very difficult for some. Restrooms were dirty. In dire need of a pressure washing and fresh coat of paint! Only one shower with just a curtain, so no security when showering."

"I did the Brook Trail-Crest Trail-Pomperaug Trail Loop. It's a decent work out and each one has its own charm. The Brook Trail offered nice flow of water in the waterfalls...while the Crest Trail has expansive high views over the river. You may continue descending all the way to Jackson Cove, if you so wish."

"Nice park with lots of space for parking and picnic tables. Easy trails that goes along the brook. When we went it was not busy and we had a good time. There is also a place to launch your canoe."
