About Bolton Notch State Park

A rocky notch marks the divide between the Thames River and Connecticut River watersheds, with the boundary running through the park's 95 acres. The land sits where U.S. Route 44 crosses U.S. Route 6, and offers ground for hiking, climbing, and cave exploration.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
