About Hopemead State Park
Gardner Lake's eastern shore forms the setting for this undeveloped 60-acre recreation area, spanning the towns of Bozrah and Montville. No developed facilities are described here, just the lakeside land itself. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection manages the property, and it sits roughly 8 miles from Norwich.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
