Hurd State Park is a Connecticut state park located in the town of East Hampton with hiking, picnicking, and mountain biking. It is one of four state parks that offer primitive camping for boaters on the Connecticut River. The park is adjacent to George Dudley Seymour State Park.
In the early 1930s Jesse S. Miller claimed the mining rights to feldspar on the property but the State of Connecticut prevailed in the Connecticut State Supreme Court in 1935.
