Reviews
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.
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.
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.
Standing firm on the bank of the Thames River originally constructed in1777. It was attacked in 1781 during the American Revolutionary War and was captured by British forces under the command of Benedict Arnold. Today It is open to the general public and ideal for dog walkers and joggers
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.
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.
Beautiful grounds and views. Fort was closed by the time we got there.
