Kettletown State Park

When settlers first arrived in this portion of the state, they purchased a large tract of land from the Indians for a consideration of one brass kettle. The name Kettletown, given to this area at that time, still endures, and all of the present state park lies within the boundaries of the original purchase.

The park extends for about two miles along the east shore of Lake Zoar. The fifth largest freshwater body in the State, Lake Zoar was created by the diversion of the Housatonic River when the Stevenson Dam was constructed for the generation of hydroelectric power.

The handicapped-accessible nature trail is a popular attraction. The 492-acre park offers flush toilets, paved/gravel parking, drinking water. Open daily, it is located 5 miles south of Southbury, Exit 15, off I-84.
