Miller's Pond State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miller’s Pond State Park is located off of Foothills Road in Durham, Connecticut. This State Park consists of 30 acres of pond and 170 acres of woodlands. Here many residents and guests enjoy leisure activities such as fishing, hiking, and hunting. Miller’s Pond gets its source of water from large springs making great conditions to fish for trout and small mouth bass. Thomas Miller was the person who erected the upper dam in 1704 to make a reservoir for his gristmilll that was located further downstream. The pond was originally purchased by the state in 1955 from the heirs of Thomas Masdonough Russell.
