The White Trail offers a refreshing hike that travels alongside the Pierrepont Pond. The other trails rise in elevation and lead toward rock ledges that overlook the park and beyond. This trail also offers car-top boating opportunities.
Seth Low Pierrepont State Park Reserve was a gift to the Connecticut State Park and Forest Commission from Seth Low Pierrepont upon his death in 1956. Mr. Pierrepont was a millionaire and ex-diplomat who served as a United States official in Lisbon, Rome, Paris, Santiago, and Chile. He also worked as chief of the American Division of the State Department. Mr. Pierrepont purchased the estate from the Scott family in the early 1930s.
