Loving nature and living in a small state like Connecticut can make you feel a little cramped. We certainly have plenty of beautiful parks all over the state, but their close proximity to one another means it’s fairly easy for long-time locals to visit just about every state park in Connecticut. If you’re feeling like everyday life is a bit stale and would like to check out a less popular park, look no further than the beautiful Hidden Pond Park in Southbury, CT. This mostly rural town in the Naugatuck Valley is a lovely place for a visit, and Hidden Pond Park is a great green space in this charming community.

The 58-acre park is surprisingly large.

A hiking trail loops around the park and meanders through the park's forests. It doubles as a cross country skiing trail in the wintertime.
