Old Mine Park used to be a tungsten mine, the pavilion for picnicking now stands where the main ore processing building once stood. Be sure to check the Trumbull Historical site (listed below) for photos of the mine when it was in operation. The loop up the large hill takes you past remnants of old mine cuts and shafts (fenced off for safety).
Name Confusion
Often considered just a northern extension of the Pequonnonck Valley State Park, Old Mine Park is town owned and a separate entity. It's easy to ride between the two parks on a very smooth and easy Rail Trail.
