View of Sleeping Giant

Just off the side of the path, there is a pretty cool head-on view of Sleeping Giant. If you like trails and hills, there is lots of great running just across the street at Sleeping Giant State Park.

Sleeping Giant State Park Entrance

Highlight • Rest Area

Although there are numerous parking areas to access Sleeping Giant State Park, this is the main entrance, with a sizable picnic area and plenty of parking.

Tip by

Sleeping Giant State Park is a 1,465 acre park. The top of the mountain in the park resembles a sleeping giant, which is where the park's name comes from.

There are biking and hiking paths,
a picnic area and from the peak of Mt. Carmel, there is an excellent view of Long Island Sound and the New Haven area.
