Connecticut State Parks

Bigelow Hollow State Park

6/12/2021 Headed north, arriving at Bigelow Hollow State Park in Union around 11:45. Right inside the park I spotted a small sign for “Pond View Picnic”, and pulled in. We needed some plastic on the seats to prevent a wet butt, and paper towel on the table, but otherwise enjoyed a nice sandwich lunch (from home) overlooking the pond. This Park is in the relatively new Last Green Valley NHA.

Here we visited the dome museum which very effectively displayed the array of uncovered dinosaur footprints. There were also very nice informative displays about dinosaurs and how the tracks were created. Outside we took a short walk on the trails ...
