Haddam Island State Park, State park on Connecticut River, United States.
The 14-acre island park in the Connecticut River features undeveloped natural terrain with fragile beaches along its northern edge.
In 1662, the Wangunk tribe sold the island along with 150 square miles of land to English settlers for 30 coats.
Early settlers named it Thirty Mile Island due to a miscalculation of its distance from the Connecticut River mouth.
Visitors can reach the island by boat from the Haddam Meadows State Park launch point located half a mile south.
The island supported two fishing companies in the 19th century and provided land for cattle grazing and corn cultivation.
