Review:
Connecticut’s first designated state park, Sherwood Island State Park continues to be one of its finest. There is so much for visitors of all ages to explore and do while there. Popular activities include swimming in the Long Island Sound, having a leisurely picnic in the shade of the designated picnic grove, or viewing interesting marsh like from the observation platform at Sherwood Island. In addition to the beautiful beaches, shelters, and picnic areas, you’ll also come across more interesting aspects in the park such as a model airplane runway, distinctive red and black sand influenced by garnet and magnetite in the area, and gorgeous rock outcrops.
