The main trail is a straight out and back on a historic roadway on the property. The trail is easy and relatively flat, passing between stonewalls, until it reaches the shorefront of Gardner Lake.
A few minor informal side trails provide access from the adjacent private campground.
The State Park was established in 1955 through the purchase of the land from the Fuller and Eastman families with funds set aside by George Dudley Seymour. The property had been the farm of Solomon Gardner (son of the David Gardner for whom Gardner Lake is named) in the 1800s.
This park is managed by the following CT DEEP Park Headquarters:
