Platt Hill State Park is an undeveloped public recreation area occupying 159 acres (64 ha) in the town of Winchester, Connecticut. The state park has hiking trails, picnicking sites, and views of the surrounding area.[1]
The park was one of several public recreation areas acquired in the 1950s using funds bequeathed for that purpose by George Dudley Seymour. Platt Hill State Park first appeared on state rolls in the 1960 edition of the Connecticut State Register and Manual, where it was listed at 50 acres (20 ha).[2][A]
