Eagle Landing State Park, State park on Connecticut River in Haddam, United States.
Eagle Landing State Park is a natural area on the western bank of the Connecticut River with wooded grounds and developed visitor facilities. The park provides fishing spots, walking trails, and a boat launch for water access.
The property was acquired by the state in 2003 and converted from a former agricultural and cruise line site into a public recreation area. This transformation opened access to this riverside location for the general public.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals spend time outdoors and connect with nature along the river. People use the walking paths and open spaces to fish, hike, or watch the water and wildlife.
The grounds are easy to access with adequate parking and clear paths to activity areas. Visitors should bring layers for weather changes and expect slippery surfaces during wet conditions.
Between January and February, large numbers of bald eagles arrive in the park area to hunt fish and find habitat. This seasonal visit makes the winter months a special time for nature watchers and photographers.
