Black Rock State Park was the first park in Connecticut to ban the 'devil's brew'. On one VERY HOT holiday weekend over a decade ago a portion of the camping population went into a semi-riot vs. the DEP.
They I would guess took so much abuse 'somebody' snapped. Abuse? The DEP a military type organization used to use the Campgrounds as military training. Not very friendly for the 'normal camping citizen'. This action was the foundation for banning alcohol FOREVER.
This Park has been nearly empty since prohibition was enacted. As of 2009 $5 more for non-state residents ? Without them the place must be totally empty !!!!2010 now the highest cost of any USA state !!!!
