Quests

Thames River Heritage Park quests are self-guided, family-friendly treasure-seeking hikes that will take you to Fort Trumbull State Park, Waterfront Park in Downtown New London, Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park and Thames Street in Groton. Follow a series of clues at each site to learn about the history and ecology of the area while solving a word puzzle.

Register with the Thames River Heritage Park, complete quest(s) on Connecticut Trails Day – Saturday, June 3 or Sunday, June 4, 2023 and send a selfie from the final location to [email protected] OR post it on Facebook or Instagram, tagging us, to receive a promo code for a complimentary roundtrip harbor cruise ticket. Tickets will be available at the water taxi beginning on Saturday, June 10 and may be used for any 2023 regularly scheduled harbor cruise.
