Chaffinch Island Park

Looking for some place to get away from it all, then look no further! Take a trip to Chaffinch Island Park, nestled in the quaint Town of Guilford, on the Connecticut shoreline. Bring along your picnic and stay awhile.

Whether you enjoy bird watching or fishing is more your style, or maybe you prefer just to sit back and watch the boats go driving by. Chaffinch Island in Guilford is just the place to spend the day.

If physical activity is what you crave, bring your kayak and paddle around the coast, or take a walk and explore the coastline. Whatever you choose, Chaffinch Island Park is relaxing place to spend the day.

Ray: Yes, to answer you question. Chaffinch Island Park is at the end of West River and leads to the ocean, not a lake, so you can have motor boats, sail boats and kayaks in the same area. Lots of room for everyone. And I would love to have one of those big boats! Would be wonderful! We have a small boat that we keep up in Maine, Dan wants to bring it back to Connecticut so we can put it in here and explore the coastline.

Sandra--It is amazing how restful it is to just sit a view water as far as the eye can see. You have to remember that from where I sit, it is 2000-3000 miles to the ocean. We do enjoy the visiting Lake Superior which is our closest big body of water...Still a 2-3 hour drive. Looks like you both had a wonderful time! :)
