Haley Farm State Park

Located on a finger of land extending into Long Island Sound, the park preserves colonial-era farmland, with stone walls, old farm foundations, and traces of its agrarian past scattered amongst the scenic views of Palmer Cove and the Sound.

Laced throughout the park’s 272 acres of coastal plains, former pastures, and freshwater ponds, an expansive web of trails are especially popular for mountain biking, birdwatching, and dog walking. Explore the trails that traverse the park or connect to a vast regional trail network. Take the bridge over the railroad tracks to reach nearby Bluff Point State Park and Coastal Reserve. Combined, the two parks offer over 1,000 acres of permanently protected open space for public enjoyment.

Designated in 2022, Haley Farm State Park is part of the Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). This means that recreational activity is restricted for the purpose of coastal conservation along the Long Island Sound. With this, we promote land stewardship, environmental education, and research.
