Selden Neck State Park

Connecticut State Parks , Lyme Connecticut Parks

Welcome to the unique and beautiful Selden Neck State Park, an island oasis located on the Connecticut River near Lyme. This island was separated from the mainland in the mid-19th century by floods and erosion. The island is only accessible via watercraft. The island itself is the largest one in the Connecticut River and is named for a late 17th century landowner by the name of John Seldon. Two centuries later a quarry was operated on the island and many of the stones helped build the streets of New York City.
