Hurd State Park, Public recreation area in East Hampton, Connecticut, US.
The parkland covers 991 acres along the Connecticut River with forested trails, granite formations, and access points for water activities.
The state purchased the initial 150 acres in 1914, leading to a legal dispute over feldspar mining rights that concluded with a state victory in 1935.
The name originates from the Hurd family who established their presence in the region after relocating from Massachusetts in 1710.
Visitors can access boat-in camping spots along the Connecticut River between May and September, with designated areas for up to 40 youth group campers.
The park features a half-mile-long jetty constructed from large quarried blocks, offering extended views over the Connecticut River.
