Heritage Sites
Housatonic Meadows State Park - Sharon, Conn
Located in the rock-strewn valley of the Housatonic River amid the rugged hills of the northwestern uplands, Housatonic Meadows is an ideal setting for a variety of outdoor recreational activities. Camping under the tall pines on the riverbank gives the overnight visitor a genuine back-to-nature feeling. The clear, cold river water also provides a fine opportunity for fly fishermen to test their skills on trout and bass. A two-mile stretch of river (including the park shore) is limited to fly fishing.
Housatonic Meadow Campground offers 95 sites in a rustic setting near the Housatonic River. The camping season begins in mid-April and ends December 31. Bathrooms & Showers at the campground. There is a campsite fee at Housatonic Meadows State Park.
