There’s a stunning piece of the Connecticut River in East Hampton, where you can stroll down to the riverbank and take a family picnic in perfect seclusion. At this point the river is more than 200 meters across, and if you happen to arrive at Hurd State Park by water in the summer months there’s a small campground reserved exclusively for people entering and leaving by boat. The park spreads over more than 1,000 acres, and has a network of blazed trails streaking through the forest. The orange and yellow trails take you to the top of the split rock, a set of granite ledges where you can see the river far below through the trees.

Beautiful scenic nature with hidden gems throughout! Definitely a great place to bring the fur babies to have a swim! The park is clean and litter free Just be careful as some of the areas near the “island” are dirty and littered partially due to wash up and rising/sinking water levels. This is the only part that is concerning.

Beautiful area to hike. The weather was fantastic. Hurd State Park is a Connecticut state park located in the town of East Hampton with hiking, picnicking, and mountain biking. It is one of four state parks that offer primitive camping for boaters on the Connecticut River. The park is adjacent to George Dudley Seymour State Park.

A fine park with plenty of trails to get lost on! And we promptly managed to do that! Not seriously lost, just not knowing the park very well, since it was my first visit. Saw the CT River views from Split Rock, which were okay, but nothing to write home about. Overall, a very nice hiking park.

Of the many times I’ve been here, I usually only see two or three other people max. It’s a great small state park that lots of people don’t know about. The hiking trails are peaceful and well maintained and offer views of the CT River.

Great hike and there are 2 different Parking areas for this trail.I did follow a map on the trails app that took me in a loop. You will end up heading to the connecticut river to see a view of the water.
