East Haddam Fall Weekend Self-Guided Hike at Gillette Castle State Park


  • Gillette Castle State Park 67 River Road East Haddam, CT 06423 (map)

Come hike the historic grounds of Gillette Castle State Park, from 8 a.m. to sunset October 2 and 3!

For a $2-or-more contribution to the Friends of Gillette Castle State Park, the first 100 visitors who donate before 7 p.m. Thursday, September 30, will receive a print-at-home trail guide by the evening of Friday, October 1, that describes many of the fascinating features that dot the grounds. Hiking and history all in one tidy package! We hope to see you there.

Please note that the Friends of Gillette Castle State Park are not involved in the Castle tours or the tickets for the tours. While you can hike the trails from 8 a.m. to sunset each day, if you plan to tour the Castle we highly recommend purchasing tickets online before you come to the Castle to be sure you can get inside. Visitor capacity in this historic structure is limited per local fire regulations and national best practices in fire protection. Masks are required inside the Castle at this time.

Thank you.
