Gay City State Park

Gay City State Park is the remnants of a 1700s abandoned mill town in Hebron, Connecticut. As such, there are water ditches, old houses, and stone walls, a New England tradition. The park is located on Route 85, near the border of Bolton.

The name "Gay City" comes from the name of the ancient mill town the park includes. [http://www.stateparks.com/gay_city.html]

The park has deep forest to hike through, a pond that attracts ducks, streams, and marshland. Surrounding the lakeshore are picnic tables. An impressive trail system guides visitors on their way through the park.

Local lore has it that the park is haunted. [http://www.curbstone.org/index.cfm?webpage=108]
