Putnam Park is one of my favorite parks in the area. The history and the scenery just do it for me…read more It's especially gorgeous during the Autumn months. The main trail is paved and easy for anyone to walk. There are also a ton of historical landmarks within the park grounds. Along with being the oldest state park in the Connecticut, Putnam Park is also designated as the first State Archaeological Preserve. It was the site of the winter encampment of the troops under General Israel Putnam (for whom the park is named). There are regular Revolutionary War reenactments hosted by The Friends and Neighbors of Putnam Park. Putnam Park is a nice quiet place on the Bethel/Redding line. I am very grateful to those who pushed to reopen it.

Beautiful visitor center and fascinating ride on our mountain bikes through the park. Arrived at the door of the adorable 1921 stone museum building and it was like Wally World in the movie vacation! CLOSED!!!!!! . Soooo disappointed! It's the main attraction! Omg! I couldn't believe it! Website did not mention anything about being closed other than a few days in a June!!!! . I would have given them five stars but when the museum is closed???? Not nice for visitors traveling a long way to see artifacts from the park. My advice is to call first. Apparently they don't feel it necessary to post on their website.

Parking is easy at the middle school across the street. My dog had a great time, although he's little so we had to carry him for the rock scrambling parts. There were dogs off leash despite the signs so just be wary if your dog doesn't do well with others or is nervous around big dogs. Trails are well marked and maintained. We used All Trails to connect one trail to another. Check for ticks! We found two on the dog in the car.

There are several parking lots, each with trail maps. The trails themselves are not really marked the way they are on the map, but you'll see the occasional blue or red paint on a tree.

We didn't see any bears or wolves except the sculptures at the southern entrance, but we did see horses near the Lilly pond. Watch out for ticks and poison ivy.

There's a lake for fishing and boating and canoeing here, and some nice hikes up to a ridge area. The main area for parking, with a somewhat muddy and rutted parking lot, is on Barlow Mountain Road, next to the lake. There's a small area for a boat ramp, and a few spots for parking. There are also a number of smaller areas to park on various side streets, to access various sections of the park. The trails are pretty well blazed, with maps mounted near the parking areas. The trails are really nice, with some sections being lower and easier, and a little bit of a challenge to get up to the ridge, where there's a nice overlook of the area. It's definitely a nice place to go for a hike!
