Coastal Connecticut Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Little bit rocky moderate hike, but when to get to the top you will see several beautiful scenic views including one of the reservoir and a little hedgehog looking island in the middle, especially beautiful in a fall. There are several options for your hike, shorter and longer ones.
#stunningstructures this little gem on the Connecticut river was a surprise find!
Moderate hike, beautiful views, dog friendly.

West Peak. Blue Trail. 4.5 miles. 1,100 ascending. About 3hr hike to Castle Craig and back down.
