Top 7 Outdoor Activities in Groton, Connecticut (CT)

June 24, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Sitting at a strategic position along the Thames River, water has played a significant part in the growth of Groton, Connecticut. Visit Fort Griswold, a Revolutionary War era base built to defend the port of New London, most infamously known as the site of the betrayal of American forces by Benedict Arnold. Groton is also the "Submarine Capital of the World," home to the US Navy's main submarine base, as well as the Submarine Force Museum, where visitors can board the first nuclear submarine.

Shennecossett is a great and challenging golf course. The clubhouse, restaurant and bar are a lot of fun. The food is great at Par 4, they have 100's of beers on tap and great views. I have read some negative reviews and can only say that the powers that be have decided to maintain everything in a traditional fashion. But, that being said if you didn't like it stay in Massachusetts and we'll be fine.Peace
