Another favorite hike of ours that is now just a few minutes away from our apartment is Sleeping Giant State Park. Similar to Hammonassett, any trail you pick is sure to be a good hike!

The Tower Trail, as you can tell by it's name, brings you right to the tower on a moderate trail, which offers a great viewpoint of the surrounding area.

If you're looking for a more challenging hike, we'd recommend the blue trail, from the main parking lot to the tower and back, or any of the trails from the parking lot off Chestnut Lane.

Connecticut-registered vehicles are free. Out-of-state-registered vehicles are $15 on weekdays/$22 on the weekends.
