Great River Park — Attraction in East Hartford

This park is one of my favorite places to go for walks. Depending on which direction you go, you will come across lots of wonderful things. One side has a lot of plants and cool trails of varying difficulty, and the other side takes you farther along the river and to different art installations having to do with a former U.S. president. It's really quite lovely. The walk has plenty of benches but due to the fact that the park floods up to a certain level every year, not all of the benches are safe to sit on. Overall, it's a nice easy walk in either direction that can get you some great photos and won't be too difficult if you have a mild disability or are in a wheelchair. It's also quite romantic at sunset, and a known spot for families and lone people that love the view...

I love going to this park on a walk or a run there's a lot of shade as well, so if you have pups it's great. During these summertIme months the hours are 5:15am to 8:30pm for parking near the water. The Rangers are always friendly and are always willing to help if you have questions or if you get lost. This place also happens to be the venue for many events, if I'm not usually there to do parkour I am usually there to support the CT National Guard events or for the occasional food trucks. There's always a good reason...

Nice walk by the river. The walk way is paved, some places to sit an rest. Nice for wheelchairs to go 99 percent of the walk way. There is a path in the small woods to see different plants but it's dirt and made for one person to walk, an follow each other. There are places to fish from. I wold not eat anything I would catch. But the river has been cleaner an cleaner over the past 20 years of abuse from factores dumbing waste water in it. There is big stripped bass salmon, cat fish...
