Sleeping Giant State Park
Forested mountain with hiking trails & an observation tower offering views of the Long Island Sound.
Two miles of mountaintop resembling a large man lying in repose, the “sleeping giant”, is a popular feature of the south central Connecticut skyline. A 1 1/2 mile scenic trail leads to the stone observation tower on the peak of Mt. Carmel which provides an excellent view of Long Island Sound and the New Haven area. In 1924 Sleeping Giant was designated as a state park.

A Childhood Favorite
I’d often go here for school field trips as a kid. Even into adulthood, I still visit this calming location when in CT.
