About
Occupying 231 acres, the Mount Tom State Park is one of the oldest in Connecticut. It was among the 15 parks created between 1913 and 1918 by Connecticut’s first State Park Commission and it was the first to open to the public. Today, the Park is a recreation area where visitors are free to hike up to Mt. Tom Tower as well as swim in the Mt. Tom Pond.
