Ferry Landing State Park — Attraction in Old Lyme

This place is a hidden gem! It is located next to the DEP Marine Headquarters, off Ferry Street. Free and ample parking. Great spot for fishing, crabbing, and bird watching.

There are informational plaques along the way, teaching visitors about the flora and fauna. It's a must-see!...
