There are a few former or uncertain status state parks
Former State Parks
- Quinebaug Pines – This former state park located in Putnam started with the purchase of 37 acres for $6,100 in 1923. It was purchased from a Ransom H. Bradley who had owned it since 1913. The stand of pines was one of the few remaining in the state at that time with some pines at least three feet in diameter. It was damaged by flooding in 1936 and the majority of the pines were leveled in the 1938 Hurricane. In October 1948 the state traded the property to American Optical for 24 acres along Lake Mashapaug (modern day Bigelow Hollow)
- Fort Shantok
- Buttonball Brook
- Saptree Run and Wolf Den State Parks – Consolidated into modern day Mashamoquet Brook State Park
Uncertain Status
- Pequonnock River Valley State Park
- Beardsley State Park
