Confirmed from Fort Saybrook Monument Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
17-acre park with storyboards depicting the history of Saybrook Colony, a boardwalk & bird watching.
What runners say about Fort Saybrook Monument Park
“I visited this park a few weeks ago, and it was beautiful with a great view of the Connecticut River!”
Reminds me of my childhood. That hill used to be a LOT BIGGER when I was a kid rolling down it haha
Worth the short loop around the park. Nicely laid out pointing out local history and environment. Saw a pair of bald wagles.

“We visited during the winter which was great because we had no problem finding parking but I am sure during nicer weather that parking spaces will be scarce.”
