Damage from Sunday’s windswept rainstorm has closed five state parks. Among the parks is Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. Trees and power lines were knocked down during the storm. The damage has forced the state Department of Environmental Protection to close Sherwood Island “until further notice.” Wind gusts on the Long Island Sound peaked at 65 mph on Sunday. Sherwood Island State Park, which, covers more than 235 acres has a number of large trees that slope to the shoreline. Sherwood Island is the only park does not have a time when it would reopen. Harkness Memorial in Waterford, Gillette Castle in East Haddam, Haystack Mountain in Norfolk and Hopeville Pond in Griswold are closed Monday.
