Moosup Valley State Park Trail

Moosup Valley State Park Trail is a 65-acre state park in Connecticut, sitting just 0.3 miles from the village of Oneco. It's a small park, the kind of compact stop that fits easily into a day spent exploring this corner of the state near the Rhode Island line. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show a clear four-season pattern. Summer is warmest, with July highs around 80°F and lows near 61°F, and August nearly the same. Late spring and early fall are milder: May highs reach about 68°F, September about 72°F, and October about 61°F, with lows in the 40s and 50s. Winter is cold, with January highs near 35°F, lows around 18°F, and roughly seven snowy days in each of January and February. Precipitation is steady year-round, with 10 to 13 wet days in a typical month, so rain gear is worth packing whenever you go. Snow is mostly done by April and doesn't usually return until November. Several other outings lie within a short drive. Pharisee Rock Trail is about 3.7 miles away, and both the Quinebaug Trail and Rhode Island's Tillinghast Pond Trail are about 4.1 miles off. For time on the water, the Moosup River is roughly 4.9 miles away.
