We are situated right off Interstate 395. Although Griswold has, in the past, been mostly farmland, we are building a strong tourism base. Located less than 20 miles from the Mohegan Sun Casino and Mystic, and 10 miles from Foxwoods, we are a perfect destination location. We have a bed and breakfast, gift shops, a lovely golf course and numerous restaurants. This summer we look forward to the opening of AmericInn Lodge and Suites.

In our little town, whether you favor a rowboat, canoe or motorboat and water skiing you will find the perfect body of water to explore. All have state boat launch access.
