Ricker Pond State Park
About this site
Ricker Pond State Park is one of seven parks located in the 27,000-acre Groton State Forest. This quiet park is situated on the shores of Ricker Pond. The waterfront lean-tos, cottages and cabins make this a favorite family camping spot. Built by the CCC in the 1930's you can still enjoy some of their work, such as the rough-hewn stone picnic table and log picnic pavilion. Excellent camping, swimming, boating, fishing and hiking. Canoes and kayaks are available for campers to rent. Nature and interpretive programs are offered at the Groton Nature Center. Amenities include 2 fully furnished rental cottages, 5 rental cabins, 26 tent/RV sites, 23 lean-tos, restrooms with flush toilets, hot and cold running water and coin-operated showers. There is a swimming beach, cartop boat launch and picnic pavilion for campers. Drinking water is available throughout the park. Firewood is available for purchase. There is an RV sanitary dump station, but there are no hookups. Additional Info: The park is open May 1 - October 31. Reservations are available. The pond is motor-free, making it ideal for paddling and swimming.
