PUBLIC TRUST FOUNDATION

The East Lyme Public Trust Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation created by a group of dedicated citizens of southeastern Connecticut to promote, provide and protect an improved quality of life for all people in the region and state through its activities in the public trust... ELPTF is probably best known for its first project, the Niantic Bay Overlook. Our goal was to create a mile-long walkway that would increase the enjoyment of the Bay for the residents of East Lyme, its neighbors, and the citizens of Connecticut. Planning began in 1994 and, in cooperation with the town of East Lyme, the Overlook was originally completed in 2005. It suffered storm damage and was eventually reconstructed and rededicated in 2016. It is is now called the Niantic Bay Boardwalk and Beach. You can find more about this endeavor in the Projects section of our website.
