Camp Columbia State Park/State Forest is a public recreation area and state forest located in the town of Morris in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The 600-acre (240 ha) site was once the rural campus of Columbia University's Engineering Department.[3] The majority of the property has been designated as a state forest; the acreage designated as a state historic park includes the frontage on Bantam Lake and the site of the former university buildings.[4] It is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
