    Mazda Miata rental car
    Cole D.

    Absolutely epic day at lime rock. The workers are so kind. You can tell they love this stuff. They're gracious, calm, and safe. We loved being taken along the big track and also trying the smaller laps in the rentals. The Mazda Miata is a great car. We loved the time trial at the end. So fun. They're gracious with making sure you have the best day possible and if someone slows you down, they'll give you another lap.

    This is how close the racing gets.

    I have been going to Lime a Rock since the early 1970s. Nestled in the Berkshire hills, this nearly 60 years young, 1.5 mile track is the perfect place to watch a sports car race. If you grew up watching races on TV, actually being at the track will be a revelation. The sounds, smells and views of up-close action will tell you why so many people go to tracks year after year. Lime Rock doesn't have grand stands, just grassy hills with shade trees so bring a blanket or folding chair, picnic basket and your camera or binoculars. They have their biggest spectator races around Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day - occasionally they hold a big mid-July race too so go to the web and find the race that talks to you. I love the Labor Day Weekend vintage races - three days of close action with a huge car show on Sunday. Racing takes place rain or shine and it can get cool in north west Connecticut so dress accordingly. Food isn't the track's strong point so bringing your own lunch and snacks will save you money and raise the quality. Finally, you can get really close to the cars because they usually grant spectators full paddock access. And, they also have fan walks that let you walk on the track just before the race starts so you can meet the drivers and get pictures. The track is under going a $3.5M renovation that will upgrade the bathrooms and spectator viewing areas. Last visit (a week ago) they were 90% done. Love racing? Go to Lime Rock.

    Amazing Park! Highly suggested to any race fan or even anyone partial. Great place to spend a day. Tickets are cheap and the sights are amazing. My father and I have been coming here for years for either the Porsche Club meets to the American Le Mans races. Every time we come here we leave talking about what an amazing day it was! The track recently undertook a renovation which turned out amazing! The views of the track at some of the corners are absolutely stunning! Race day events and concessions are always great. We usually bring a few chairs and park at different corners throughout the day and end the day on the front straight. Sometimes we bring lunch and a few drinks, but if we arn't there running the car, you can typically find me in the beer tent! HIGHLY suggest everyone to get tickets for the American Le Mans race here usally around the 4th of July or the Grand-AM Rolex Series usally here around the end of September. If you like fast exotic cars, this is the place to see them, you get to meet the race car drivers, get up and close(within inches) of the cars and take in the lovely smell of octane for the day! Always tons of action! Beautiful backdrop of the Berkshires and the wonderful sounds of the cars echoing off the hills. Don't hesitate from make a trip up to beautiful Lime Rock park!

    One of the best times of year for me is the date when the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) comes to New England. You get to see some amazing machines driven to their max, a treat usually only seen on TV. For the past many years, they've been coming to Lime Rock as the destination of choice. Lime Rock Park is really one of the nicer spectator tracks I've seen. Unlike most tracks which really confine you to the stands, Lime Park lets you pretty much roam the grounds, as long as you stay within the fenced area. In some spots (the back straight) you can get within about 20 feet of the track, enough to literally feel the wind from the passing cars. Traditional style grandstand seating is also available, but usually not the best choice. They recently opened up a section on the opposite side of the back straight, with a couple of nice picnic tables, in my opinion the best spot to watch from. Bring something decent for ear protection and some refreshments (kind of pricey if you buy there). Unless your planning on grandstand, a blanket / chair are great to have for the lawn on the hill. Many events will allocate spots for campers, which are, again, not more then 30 feet away from the track. Parking is ample, but not always as close as one would like. A lot of walking around, so comfortable shoes are a must.

    Car Heaven On Earth! Lime Rock is my favorite place on earth. An incredible track surrounded by beautiful green mountains. I look forward to the Vintage Festival every Labor Day weekend. No place I'd rather be. The diversity of the cars combined with the beautiful scenery and exciting racing can not be matched. Check out the pics I added to LRP's Yelp profile. Amazing variety of cars!

    Bring a chair! And your cooler! Lots of great places to watch the race Got to walk the track - very cool. But the bathroom situation is bleak at that. Mostly porta potties (ewwww) Great place to go to see a race up close, though.

    It's a great old-school race track, and fwiw on the third or fourth tier of racing events, it's fun…read morethat this place is still thriving. The high banks and mix of paved and dirt surfaces are hard to find in new race tracks. If it was just the track, with a modernized facility, I'd be five-starring this. But as far as the venue goes, this place is a disaster. It just hasn't been updated at all since about 1954, from the bathrooms to the stands to the safety features. I'm just going to list my complaints here by way of consumer warnings (after two events, we're done coming back) - The stands are rickety as hell, old wood that bounce up and down. That they haven't collapsed yet maybe means they won't, but the engineer in me suspects they may be one harmonic event (say, everybody getting up and stomping at the same time) away from problems. Even if we grant they're structurally sound, the stands are uncomfortable, tiny for crowded events, and seem to exist so the management can hawk seat-back rental. - I seriously worry about the safety barriers. On the one hand, the stands are as close to the track as you can get in racing, which is a thrill. But it's a cable and wire system, and only about 30 feet high or so. This looks like a recipe for a '55 Le Mans-style disaster coming off the curve, with just the wrong collision. - Concessions are grotesque. First off, the system is insanity. They don't have concession stands where you can line up and order off a menu. You have to line up for a particular single item (fries in one place; hamburgers in another; etc.) Then they will only take $1 bills (there's a "change stand" you can visit first) at each stand. So if you want, say, a burger, fries, and a drink, and you don't have $20 in ones, that's four lines to stand in! The facilities also look dungeon-like, and I'm amazed the health department passes the place (does it?) So it's not going to come as a surprise that the food is disgusting, the lowest of low-end ballpark food. Since there's no outside food allowed -- and they don't even let you bring in a backpack, or even a diaper bag! -- and no water fountains, you can either eat ahead of time and hope you don't get thirsty or you're stuck with food-line-hell. - Bathrooms. I'm not even gonna. - The non-smoking areas aren't enforced at all. Management knows where its bread and butter lies, and that's with the tobacco users. - there's no traffic control, and since all the parking is across the street, it's hit or miss as far as pedestrian safety. If you stay to the end of the event, count on an hour or two to get out. - speaking of lack of control, saving the worst for last: we bugged out a little early of the most recent event we were at, because the kids had to be up early, and going through the parking lot was like going through Central Park at night in the 1980's. Open drug use (including syringe drugs), at least one act of open sexual congress, people shooting off fireworks right next to propane tanks and over 1000 cars. There's no race event that's going to bring me back here with the family.

I've been coming here…read moreto fish the lake since 2005, and it's by far my favorite place to be on the water in Connecticut. The fishing is outstanding (for both largemouth bass & trout), but the experience on the water is even more enjoyable because of a motor restriction -- outboards are limited to 12 cu in. This keeps away the jet skiers, water skiers, and their ilk, which so annoy hardcore fishermen like myself. Gates don't open to 7am (6am on Opening Day, 3rd Saturday in April), and they close at Sunset. The launch fee is $10, your 5th launch is free. They also rent jon boats (w/o motors) for 1/2 day or full day use. The boats have a good amount of space, more so then the ones they rent out at Twin lakes. The only downside of fishing here is that the beach goers in the Summer can be annoying when pulling out in the afternoon after a day on the water. They often mill around the launch area or even park their cars in that area, making backing up a trailer a bit tricky. But what do expect from non-boater Knuckleheads ? I just avoid going there on bluebird sky, Summer days.
