General Information
Located on Lake Zoar, this park offers a quiet beach with a large pavilion and 27 acres of woodland trails. The Oxford loop of the Pomperaug Trail provides hours of exercise filled with scenic views of the Housatonic River. The first completed segment of the Housatonic River Belt Greenway, a 4.6 mile trail, extends from Fiddlehead Road to Kettletown State Park. It was characterized by volunteers from the Connecticut Forest Parks Association along with members from the Oxford Land Trust and many community residents.

You can purchase your JC permits at the beach using a credit or debit card.  You will still need your Driver's License and vehicle registration in order to buy the sticker. If you pay for your permit online at OxfordRec.com, you must also bring your receipt, along with the aforementioned items, and the Gate Attendant can give you your sticker.
