Wadhams Grove State Park
About
Wadhams Grove State Park is a 1-acre state park in Connecticut, about 4 miles from Litchfield. It is a very small park, best treated as a quick stop or a starting point for exploring the surrounding area rather than a destination for a full day on its own. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. A nearby weather station records typical averages around 69°F in May and 72°F in September, with July highs reaching about 82°F. The John Ross Trail is just over a mile away, and the Nature Trail and John Brown Trail lie within about 4 miles. Paddlers can head to the Bantam River, roughly 4.4 miles off.
