The Quiet Crossroads of Middlesex County Stretching across 36 square miles of rolling hills and lush woodlands, Killingworth offers a peaceful sanctuary just minutes from the coast. Known as the "quiet crossroads," this rural residential community sits strategically between the Connecticut River, the Long Island Sound, and the I-91 corridor. It is a town where historic stone walls line winding country roads, offering a timeless New England aesthetic that appeals to those seeking privacy and natural beauty.
Outdoor Adventure & Natural Splendor For nature lovers, Killingworth is an unrivaled destination. The crown jewel is Chatfield Hollow State Park, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts that features jagged ledges, soft pine woods, and the pristine waters of Schreeder Pond. Visitors flock here for its diverse hiking trails, trout fishing, swimming, and the famous boardwalk through an inland swamp. Beyond the state park, the town is home to Lavender Pond Farm, one of the largest lavender farms in New England, where over 10,000 plants create a stunning purple landscape. The community-owned Parmelee Farm serves as a central gathering spot, hosting a popular artisan market, summer concerts, and community gardens on its 132 acres of preserved land.
Commuter Accessibility & Location Despite its "off-the-beaten-path" feel, Killingworth is surprisingly accessible. The Estuary Transit District provides public transportation options and connects residents to the Old Saybrook Train Station, serviced by Shore Line East and Amtrak for easy travel to New Haven, New York City, and Boston. With Route 81 and Route 148 traversing the town, residents enjoy a quiet country lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of the shoreline’s beaches, shopping, and dining.
