Mount Bushnell State Park

Mount Bushnell State Park spans 214 acres of natural woodland terrain with hiking paths that traverse through diverse forest landscapes at 358 meters elevation.

The state of Connecticut initiated the park's development in 1916 with an initial purchase of 70 acres, marking the beginning of its conservation efforts.

The park represents Connecticut's dedication to maintaining undeveloped recreational spaces where residents can connect with the natural environment through outdoor activities.

Visitors access the park via Tinker Hill Road, though they should note the absence of marked trails and prepare accordingly for their hiking expeditions.

The park's position near Lake Waramaug creates opportunities for viewing the water body and surrounding landscape from elevated vantage points throughout the seasons.
