Squantz Pond State Park is a public recreation area located 10 miles (16 km) north of Danbury in the town of New Fairfield, Connecticut.

The park is bordered on the west by Pootatuck State Forest and is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

It is mostly a hemlock laden area with rapidly flowing streams splashing down to the lake and interesting rock formations.

A little less than half-way there, an open area and rock on which to stand offer a look back at the beach at Squantz Pond State Park.

The designated beach swimming area was enlarged and clearly marked to make it more attractive to swimmers, trees were removed to improve the sight lines of on-duty lifeguards, and a dock was installed for a patrol boat.
