Ricker Pond State Park, State park with camping facilities on Ricker Pond in Groton, United States.
The 95-acre Ricker Pond features a swimming beach, boat launch, and multiple camping areas spread along its southern shore within Groton State Forest.
The Civilian Conservation Corps developed the park in the 1930s, constructing facilities like the stone-posted gate, ranger quarters, and picnic pavilion.
Educational programs at the Groton Nature Center include night hikes, nature crafts, campfire gatherings, and hands-on activities about local wildlife.
The park maintains 26 tent sites, 23 lean-to spots, five cabins, two cottages, and offers boat rentals between Memorial Day and Columbus Day weekends.
