A PLACE TO TAKE A CAT NAP IN PEACE
I HAVE WALKED MANY TIMES TO THE TOWER WALKED BY THE BROOK AND JUST HANG OUT IF I HAVE EXTRA TIME. ITS QUIET PEACEFULL AND NO ONE WILL BUG YOU IF YOU ARE THERE TO GET A SMALL CAT NAP

| History of the Area: |
| 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. |
