Ross Pond State Park

Ross Pond State Park spans 314 acres of woodland terrain with a central pond, connecting paths, and diverse natural habitats throughout the property.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection incorporated this natural area into the state park system in 1964 with 181 acres.

The park maintains its role as a center for outdoor education where visitors learn about local wildlife and environmental conservation through direct observation.

Visitors access the park through designated parking areas and can utilize facilities for fishing, boating, hiking, and seasonal hunting activities.

The park shares a border with Old Furnace State Park, creating an extended network of trails marked by blue blazes for navigation.
