Diane Barrieau

This place was our family's favorite camping area when we were younger. I can't tell you how many times we camped, swam, fished, hiked & just summered here. Great memories! The coldest water to swim in around! Back then the man-made pond water was pulled in from the brook & completely recycled every 21 hrs, I don't know if that flow rate is the same today but baby, it was cold!

Deziree Tarot Readings

Quiet, nice walk, dog friendly. River for fishing and great place for kids to catch minos and frogs.

Erin Graham

Great place for a hike. Super family friendly

Sarah T.

Very pretty park. Will definitely be going back. Can't take dogs in the swimming area or campground but they can go in the brook. There are picnic tables and portapotties

Robert Geake

One of our favorite hiking area with beautiful natural rock formations. Table Rock, Indian chair, and the small cave that was the wolf den. Trails lead through stretches of mountain Laurel and the sound of rippling Brooks are almost ever present.

Theresa Coleman

Such a beautiful place.

Andrea Johnson

So beautiful! And clean! My new go-to place to hike.

Peter Canis

Long trail. Cool views. Multiple different terrains overall great hike

Julio Fundora

Wolves den was a great find

Phil Misilanys

Had an awesome time! Found a stray blonde lab. Very friendly glad he is now part of the family.

John Halloran

My favorite spot to go for a local hike. It is a nice woodland hike, with more elevation than most other hiking locations.

Jeff Tilley

Good place to swim, closed frequently due to bacteria

Trevor Roberts

Awesome place to take pictures and get loss in nature

Padraic Hagan

Great local state park. Small pond with beach. Sometimes gets closed due to runoff. Creek is great for kids to muck in. Pavilion is a nice picnic spot, along with other nice spots with tables by the creek. A couple of campgrounds, multiple great hiking trails. Wolf Den, Table Rock, and Indian Chair are good hike destinations.

Chad Amons

It is a family oriented campsite. There is a field for gaming and outdoor activities in the middle. Restroom is decent and within walking distance. They do accept walk in. But just to be safe, it is better to make a reservation.

Luis Lopez

Beautiful scenery and well kept.

jennifer thompson

Beautiful quiet place

Patrick Casey

1st time here and we did a full loop around mashamoquet. It came out to about 4.6 miles and took 1 hour 51 minutes to do. Saw Indian chair and the wolf dens along the way. Beautiful beginner hike and would do it again in heartbeat.

Scott Beit

Stupid

Matt Dieringer

Nice trails especially in winter with less people out.

Beautiful trek through the woods

Annie Lewis

This was an awesome camping experience! The staff were delightful. When we asked where we could buy cream for our coffee, she brought us some so we wouldn't have to make a trip to town. Clean bathrooms and hot showers. First time camping in Connecticut and we'll be back.

K Duff

Great place to bring the kids, been going there for 40 years.

Great for camping and hiking

Frank Stellato

Went on labor day weekend and the park was empty. The picnic tables look like they were placed there in the 70's and haven't seen much use since. The little charcoal grills near the tables looked new though. The entire park looked like it had chops back some years ago, but maybe doesn't attract a crowd anymore. The entrance had a gate for a greeter but it didn't look like they ever need to staff it. Shame, maybe everyone stays inside nowadays. As for the layout, we had a good time hanging out with the dog by the brook near the entrance road. There was a trailhead close by but we weren't in the mood for a hike. Easy parking. Easy to find. Not too far off of 395. Check it out if you're in Northeast CT and just want to drop in and look around.

Sabrina Collins

Things are changing so much since the past years

Cindy B

Peaceful

Carol erling

Went on the first Walktober Tour of 2018. Approximately 3.5 miles through Wolf Den Park along the blue trail to the Indian Chair, Wolf Den, and Table Rock. Excellent trip, trails are rough in some places.

Tip of The Spear

My family came here today and we have fun although the bathrooms are quite small for such a large crowd.You have to wait to shower. Wake up early. I recommend it. I can't complain. Nice people around.

Greg H

Great state park with good hiking trails and interesting sites to see. Also looks like a great place to camp or just relax.

Nichole Neill

Beautiful!

SHOESHINES

Lots of trails, nice picnic areas. Plenty of spots for barbeque.

It's not for adult fishing. Children can paddle in the water.

John McWilliams

Beautiful place, quiet and serene. Too bad not in the summer but still...

Good place for hiking, walking your dog(s), bird watching, and more. Big fields for large group gatherings, camping for trailers with water & electric hookups. Public restrooms with showers are on site when in season. Good place for Boy Scout Troop camping.

Tim Jordan

Quiet, peaceful park

Elaine Ranhoff

I love Mashmoquet park! Great place to hike the many trails, well marked! and go down to the pond for my pug to play in the water. It's only a few minute walk from my house to the park!

Rene Bizeau

Indian chair, wolf den, table Rock

Mary Anne Grimley

Quiet, serene, low light pollution camping with likeable helpful staff. Beautiful hiking right from the camp site. Fantastic and easy groomed bike trails a short drive away. Kayaking too! The ONLY problem was the overly hot temperature of the shower. Although uncomfortable, it was not a deal breaker, but it would be if we had kids in our group. Way too hot!

amit prabhu

My first camping experience. I liked the friendly ranger who allowed us to switch camping spot.

Owen James

Loved the quiet place to take the family for a evening picnic!

W. P. Wolfe
