George Dudley Seymour State Park

George Dudley Seymour State Park extends across 222 acres of forested terrain on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River with numerous marked paths.

The park grounds were formerly Clarkhurst estate, owned by the Clark family who manufactured agricultural equipment and tested their harrows on the property.

The park carries forward the legacy of George Dudley Seymour through its dedication to land conservation and public recreational spaces in Connecticut.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails from the main parking area, with opportunities for fishing, hunting, and cross-country skiing throughout the seasons.

The property transformed from a testing ground for agricultural machinery to protected parkland through a $60,000 purchase using Seymour Foundation funds in 1960.
