HUMASTON BROOK STATE PARK
HUMASTON BROOK STATE PARK
Humaston Brook State Park, located in Litchfield County, Connecticut, is a serene natural haven spanning 141 acres. It features picturesque landscapes with lush forests and the tranquil Humaston Brook running through it. The park offers opportunities for hiking along its trails that wind around ponds filled with diverse wildlife. Visitors can also enjoy picnicking or simply relaxing amidst this peaceful setting away from city bustle.
Located in Litchfield County, Connecticut, the park was established in 1920. It spans over 141 acres of land and water bodies. The area is named after a local family - Humaston.
The state acquired this property from Frank Warden in two transactions during the early twentieth century. In its initial years as a public space, it served primarily for fishing activities due to its brook's abundance.
In addition to recreational use by locals and tourists alike today, it also serves an important role in wildlife conservation efforts within Connecticut.
Connecticut has made state parks, forests, trails, historic sites and beaches more accessible to our residents so they can enjoy the many attractions and beauty they offer. Under the Passport to the Parks program, parking fees are now eliminated at Connecticut State Parks for those with Connecticut registered vehicles. You can view the
