Windsor Meadows State Park

Windsor Meadows State Park sits along the Connecticut River in three separate sections surrounded by wooded areas and water. The park protects riparian forests and flood plains that connect directly to the river edge.

Connecticut set aside this land as a protected conservation area in the 1960s. Since then, it has served as a designated natural area along the river.

The park protects riverside forests that have shaped the landscape for centuries. Visitors can walk through these natural areas and see how the Connecticut River continues to influence the plants and wildlife around it.

A boat launch ramp is available for paddlers and anglers near Bissell Bridge. Walking trails run along the water's edge and make it easy to explore the different park sections.

A pedestrian walkway crosses Bissell Bridge and allows visitors to travel across the Connecticut River on foot. This bridge path creates a unique link between areas on opposite shores.
