Becket Hill State Park Reserve

Becket Hill State Park Reserve in Lyme, Connecticut, is a 260-acre undeveloped protected area adjoining Nehantic State Forest and managed as a walk-in park rather than a built recreation site. Its name derives from the early settler Beckwith, and the land had earlier been part of the Nehantic tribe’s territory. Given to the state in 1961 by the George Dudley Seymour Trust, it became Connecticut’s 76th state park. Defined by Uncas Lake, Falls Brook, and Norwich Pond, the reserve has no direct roads or trails and remains a largely untouched part of the state’s public lands.
