Haley Farm State Park
About
Haley Farm State Park is a 61-acre state park in Connecticut, sitting about 0.1 mile from the town of Poquonock Bridge. It is a small, compact park, and its size makes it an easy stop to fold into a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from the nearby Groton weather station put June highs around 75°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 81°F. The Groton X-Town Trail starts just 0.3 mile away. Climbers can head to the Ledyard Areas, about 2 miles off, and paddlers will find the Mystic River roughly 5 miles away.
