 Multiple Connecticut state parks were forced to close the gates to new visitors after reaching capacity during the holiday yesterday. Over a dozen parks had to close, including Sherwood Island in Westport and Silver Sands in Milford. Squants Pond in New Milford was actually booked completely before the day even started, so only the people with a reservation online were allowed inside. It's a reminder to check park capacity and even book reservations throughout the summer before going anywhere.
