Quaddick State Park, State park with reservoir in Thompson, Connecticut.
The 203-acre recreation area features a sandy beach, boat ramp, and circular trail along Middle Quaddick Reservoir for outdoor activities.
The land transformed from Thompson's town farm for elderly residents into a forest recreation area before becoming a state park in 1951.
The Nipmuck Indians utilized the waters of present-day Quaddick Reservoir as their primary fishing grounds before European settlement.
Connecticut residents with registered vehicles enter free through the Passport to Parks program, while out-of-state vehicles pay fees on weekends.
The Quaddick Reservoir, created in 1866 through the elevation of Kings Pond, supplied water to textile processing facilities in Killingly.
