| ctjan's Full Review: Gillette Castle State Park |
Gillette Castle State Park is located in East Haddam, CT off Route 82.
It has hiking, fishing, boat launching and boat camping and the most
spectacular views you'll see anywhere in the state. You can tour the
"castle" which is actually the home of actor William Gillette. It's a
rather steep climb up to the castle and even though we went on a week
day, it was rather crowded and we were basically herded thru the castle.
Once you get to the castle though, the view overlooking the Connecticut
River is really phenomenal. See my website below to see what I mean!
The only regret I had the day we went is that we didn't take a picnic
lunch as there were not a lot of good restaurants in the area....in
fact, I don't really remember any.
As I understand it, the park is closed for renovations through this
year but when it reopens, I will be one of the first ones to make the
trip again!
