Red Top is the training camp used by the Harvard crew for their annual race with Yale. Red Top consists of a complex of several buildings including living quarters for the crews and the red-topped boathouse which gives the facility its name. Situated within the town of Ledyard, Connecticut, Red Top is located on the eastern shore of the Thames river just north of the Groton US Naval Base and directly across the river from the northern finish/start line for the race and the rock at Bartlett's Cove.

Red Top was the subject of a litigation several years ago when the town of Ledyard attempted to tax the property.

At one time Red Top was considered of enough importance to merit its own eponymous stop on the train route that runs along the Thames river. Although The Race has decreased in national importance in the second half of the 20th century, with the rise of other more telegenic sports, the rivalry continued at Red Top each year contines to be of interest among rowing enthusiasts and historians of sports.
Red Top, like the Yale Boathouse, also serves as an important geographical and navigational landmark on the Thames River because of its high visibility.

Anthony contended that RedTop had acquired title in one of two ways: first, as a successor in interest, it had acquired title through an option contract that was originally executed in 1937; or alternatively, it owned the claim through adverse possession.
Thus, RedTop argued that the transfer from RedTop to Anthony was a nullity.
Alternatively, RedTop argues that it only "can be held to have been put on notice" of Anthony's action as of January 2, 1997, the day when it learned that Anthony was seeking to quiet title against RedTop as well as the heirs and those unknown.
RedTop is an example of a crop farm in the watershed.
Approximately 86 percent of the watershed is under corn and soybean cultivation while 6 percent is deciduous forest, and the remaining is wetlands, grassland, and farmsteads (land use map).
The overall concept of RedTop Farm has proven to be a highly effective educational approach for farmers, agricultural professionals, and the non-agricultural community.
