wethersfield cove

A few people feeding ducks, greese, and sea gulls, maybe someone fishing. There are afew picnic tables on the grass near the old warehouse.

This is the site of the first landing of Europeans in Connecticut and the beginning of Wethersfield. It is also a lovely outdoor space. I saw it on a great summer day, but I am told that it is also beautiful in the other seasons.

The Wethersfield Cove is the perfect place to picnic or put in your kayak or both! There is also a wealth of history surrounding this quiet little cove that dates back to the 1600 and the early settlers! There are tours (seasonal) of the old mechant barn that is still situated right at the edge of the cove, some folks fish here still, and many put in their boats at this location. Enjoy!

You can take a very decent walk along sidewalks from the cove through Old Wethersfield to the Broad Street Green (any passerby can give easy directions) and back. This is a 2 or 3 mile stroll depending on whether you do the one-mile circuit of the historic Green itself. On the way you will pass many historic buildings typical of Old Wethersfield, including the Buttolph-Williams house on Broad st and the elegant Silas Robbins House, now a bed and breakfast right on the green. I do this walk several times a week and see new things each time. Very quiet streets, extremely pleasant.

Boats can access the CT river from here, and it provides a scenic view during a walk through town. The old Onion Barn is here, and a volunteer might tell you everything about the seed and flax trade through this once booming port for a town founded over 3 centuries ago.

The beach here is good. The area around is great. The water looks great. It is overall a cove. X rating 4.5

Took the dog here for a walk. Very nice walk, relaxing picnic area to watch the river and ferry. Saton the bench for a while with the dog, very nice. Can get very hot in the middle of the day- no shade on part of the dirt road walk.

Ok it's got some historical value, less polluted than it was in the 70's and mdc has stopped dumping sewage in it so that's an improvement. What else can you say about the cove. Not much.

If you've seen one cove you've seen this one. It's a cove, cut off by the highway on one side and people's back yards on another side.

COme on down to the Wethersfield Cobe to spend a few hours watching folks fish and to just take in the atmosphere of a lovely inlet.

Wethersfield Cove is a cove with a history of warehouses . It is now used as a launching site for small craft and a nice place to see the sun set and have a picnis.

Very relaxing, quiet place to get away from it all.

Wear thick soles shoes. Hyperdermic needles everywhere! Nice view that opens right to CT river but cannot swim nor eat any fish from here.
