The Connecticut DEEP partners with the Connecticut Library Consortium to provide State Parks and Forests Day Passes at the main library branch for each Connecticut town. The pass can be used to waive entrance fees at state parks and forests where there is an established parking fee. The pass is not for commercial use and is valid for one private vehicle carrying fewer than 12 passengers. Visit your local library today to sign out the pass and enjoy Connecticut’s many natural wonders!



Park entrance is at 1400 Georges Hill Road, Southbury.
