About Scantic River State Park

The Scantic River winds through 784 acres split into multiple separate parcels spanning Enfield, East Windsor, and Somers. Fishing, hunting, and hiking are all permitted across this land, which falls under the oversight of the state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Its scattered layout means the protected acreage does not form one continuous block but several distinct sections tied together by the river itself.

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