Ya Hurd
Hurd State Park, East Hampton
Hurd is pretty much just a straight up state park on some hills along the Connecticut River. Although, it is one of the few state parks that allows boaters to camp, so that’s cool.

The park is named for the Hurd family, who came to the region from Massachusetts in 1710. The state purchased the park’s first 150 acres in 1914. Shortly after its acquisition, the park became the focus of legal action to determine the ownership of mining privileges when Jesse S. Miller claimed rights to the feldspar on the property; the state ultimately prevailed in the Connecticut State Supreme Court in 1935
The park abuts George Dudley Seymour State Park and is yet another public park that was largely funded by Mr. Seymour himself.
