Fort Trumbull State Park and Museum - State park in New London - 90 Walbach St, USA

This is a wonderful state park. The grounds are lovely and the Water views are Relaxing. This is a wonderful place to spend time. You can come here for a lovely picnic i’ll go for an evening walk or go out to the pier is for fishing. There’s also a historical dimension. You can tour the fort and see the old cannons. There’s plenty of parking and the experience is very pleasant. Highly recommend it.

Educational, friendly staff, well maintained, and great views. Great place to stop for an hour or so to learn about the history of the fort and surrounding area. Would definitely recommend if you have the time. Fishing is allowed on the pier in front of the fort.

I take my 9yo grandson there to fish. Great place! Nice people. You can take your dog. It has picnic areas. The pier for fishing. If you have never been, you need to check it out.

Nice park with great views and a lot of history. We got to see the USCG Eagle docked here. The place is well kept, easy to walk and we skipped going in to see the inside and we still loved it.

Great park for a nice outdoor walk with water views. Pet friendly with ample of greens around.

We went here as part of the Sky's the Limit 2022 hiking challenge. It was a short walk around, not really a hike. It was neat to look around and educational. We weren't able to go inside the fort because it's only open between memorial day and labor day, but we plan on going back next year to check it out. The pier overlooking the river was amazing. We sat and had a picnic lunch and watched the water.

If you are looking for a place to spend the afternoon have a picnic and you have children with an interest in military history come to Fort Trumbull. The museum located in a renovated historic building next to the fort contains artifacts, displays and video displays. The movies provide an excellent background on the history of the site and its role as a fort and research center. If you take the time it is possible to spend two hours in the museum. After completing the tour of the museum on three floors you can tour the grounds. The views are fantastic. There is a fishing pier and a dock for picking up the water taxi. Unfortunately the actual fort is closed to the public. Designed in the Egyptian style popular in the first half of the 19th century, look for the architectural motifs reminiscent of temples located along the Nile in ancient Egypt. Free parking and clean restrooms makes this visit stressless. Check times for when the museum is open.

Lovely, I took my electric scooter through here. Marvelous! Lovely to sit by the store. Docks with benches are an appreciated addition. Worth the hour drive to get here.
