Department of Energy and Environmental Protection –  Info on accessibility in Connecticut state parks and forests.   From their website: “Accessible parking and picnic tables can be found at all park and forest recreation areas.  Public buildings at most state parks are also accessible.  The conversion process is continuing with upgraded facilities currently in design for Hopeville Pond, Mashamoquet Brook, Quaddick, and Sleeping Giant State Parks; and Pachaug and  Shenipsit State Forests.  In 1996, Stratton Brook State Park in Simsbury was the first to have a total retrofit making all park facilities  (parking, trails, restrooms, picnic areas, beach) accessible.”   See the site for more information on camping, beach wheelchairs, and fishing platforms.
