A jewel of a park along the Connecticut River, Haddam Meadows boasts an active boat launch, large open fields, and hidden trails at the south end. Swimming is dangerous here, so please don’t get lured by the enticing sand bars at low tide.

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
HIKING HINTS is a program of the MIDDLETOWN CT REC office. Follow them on Facebook.
