About Bluff Point State Park

Bluff Point is a largely untouched wooded peninsula jutting into Long Island Sound in Groton. Visitors can walk or bike a gravel loop to a coastal bluff, explore a network of rugged mountain bike trails, watch birds across beaches, marshes, and coves, and fish or paddle the surrounding waters. Because of its protected coastal reserve status, access is limited to foot or non-motorized vehicles.
