Beautiful Spot - A Serene Spot Only 5 Minutes From Bustling Downtown Hartford

The Wethersfield Cove is an absolutely gorgeous spot, located very close to Hartford. No matter how unlikely it seems, having a spot so peaceful near Hartford, this place is truly a slice of heaven. I love stopping here, whenever I come through Wethersfield.

Lovely view

Didn't know what to expect when I saw this on the map but loved the view and the historical markers explaining all about this part of Wethersfield history.

I like to go there for the sunsets.

Wethersfield Cove is a great place to launch your boat. I'm not so sure I would like to fish (like many do) or to swim. I've seen kids splashing around but I don't think it's a good idea. Around the bend there is a sanitation...More

Just your average cove

Picnic tables were kind of grim looking aka not taken care of, there was 1 boat in the water and the others were covered up for the season it looked like. I wasn't overly impressed with this, there is no real place to walk far...More

Relaxing

We like to go here for the water view and just to unwind. There is sooo much history all around Old Wethersfield and the Cove is part of that history. A classic. Nice to picnic and fish.

good place to sit and relax

If you enjoy sitting and doing nothing this is your place. Cove has a few dozen sail boats and a few fishing boats. Very peaceful and quiet. Good place for a picnic lunch.
