Stoddard Hill State Park is a publicly owned recreation area managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, located on the eastern shore of the Thames River, about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Norwich, in the town of Ledyard, Connecticut. The state park covers 55 acres and offers facilities for boating, fishing, and hiking.[2]
History
The park was donated to the state in 1954.[3] It is one of several Connecticut state parks that were acquired with funds bequeathed by George Dudley Seymour for the purpose of purchasing recreational areas for public use.[4]
Activities and amenities
The park includes a five-acre tidal estuary with ramp for car-top boating.[5] A trail leads to the top of a 183-foot (56 m) hill that was used by Native Americans as a lookout.[2]
