Talcott Mountain State Park

The park was gorgeous, offering beautiful views once you got to the top of the mountain. The tower itself was closed for the season but the hike was absolutely worth it. The lower portions of the park were kept very clean and the trails were well maintained. I would mention that there are sections that are rather difficult and physically demanding...but overall just about anyone could make the climb.

Its a great hike! Theres a quick steep incline but it levels out after that and theres many scenic outlooks. The end of the trail you reach the tower which continues to have breathtaking views! It is an in and out type of trail. Super happy when we came across this spot!!!

There is really only one trail in this park which leads to Heublein Tower. The trail is pretty step but relatively short and climbing to the top of the tower makes for a great family activity. For those looking for a longer hike, you can continue past the tower on the Metacomet Trail. I highly recommend visiting this park and the tower for the wonderful views!

This is my favorite place nearby Hartford downtown area. I usually come here when I don’t like to go gym for exercising. Going to the Heublein tower and coming back is like good 45 mins to 1 hour exercise. Hike is easy enough. View from top is charming but don’t expect anything exceptional.

Great hike. Have done it many times. Awesome views. Especially when tower is open.
