Mansfield Hollow State Park is a Connecticut state park in the town of Mansfield occupying 251 acres (102 ha) of leased lands on the western shore of 500-acre (200 ha) Mansfield Hollow Lake. The state park is one portion of the 2,300 acres (930 ha) leased by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for recreational and wildlife management purposes.[1] Geologic features of the park include remnants of the last glacial period, where retreating glaciers left kames, eskers, and kettles.[2] Recreational opportunities include facilities for boating, fishing, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing.[3] The park is traversed by the southeastern leg of the Nipmuck Trail.
