Welcome back to National Parks and other public lands with T!
While visiting the area near Mystic, Connecticut, we stopped by Bluff Point State Park. The park occupies an 800 acre peninsula in the Long Island Sound. It was designated a coastal reserve in the 1970s and is one of the largest stretches of undeveloped coastline in Connecticut.
The trail to the point is wide and flat. It winds through a wooded area, where a hawk posed calmly for pictures in a nearby tree. It opens up into a windswept coastal marsh and rocky shoreline after about a mile or so.
Location: 55 Depot Rd, Groton, CT 06340
Designation: State Park
Date established/designated: 1974
Date of my visit: April 12, 2019
