Seth Low Pierrepont State Park Reserve

Seth Low Pierrepont State Park Reserve features numerous hiking trails across diverse ecosystems, with elevations reaching 292 meters above sea level.

The park was established in 1956 following the donation of land by Seth Low Pierrepont, a former United States diplomat who served in multiple European cities.

The park preserves Connecticut's natural heritage through programs promoting environmental education and community engagement with outdoor recreational activities throughout the seasons.

Connecticut residents benefit from free parking through the Passport to the Parks program, while trails remain accessible for hiking and nature observation year-round.

Former diplomat Seth Low Pierrepont purchased this estate from the Scott family in the 1930s before transforming it into a public space for nature conservation.
