West Peak State Park is a natural haven offering breathtaking views from atop the Hanging Hills. Known for its rugged terrain and hiking trails, it's home to Castle Craig Tower - an iconic stone observation tower providing panoramic vistas of Meriden and beyond. The park also features diverse wildlife species making it ideal for nature enthusiasts. Its serene environment makes this place perfect for picnicking or simply enjoying some quiet time amidst greenery.

Connecticut has made state parks, forests, trails, historic sites and beaches more accessible to our residents so they can enjoy the many attractions and beauty they offer. Under the Passport to the Parks program, parking fees are now eliminated at Connecticut State Parks for those with Connecticut registered vehicles.
