Great views! The tower is located at the top of Sleeping Giant Mountain, and can be accessed through various hiking trails. From the tower you can see mountains in the distance and look over the mountain. There’s some cool history to it too. It was built in 1901, became a private mountain club, was used as a watch tower in WWII, and the trail to it was cleared out by the CCC during the Great Depression.

Sleeping Giant Observation Tower – A Hidden Gem in Hamden, CT The hike up Tower Trail is a gentle climb through shaded forest paths, perfect for beginners and families. At the summit, the stone tower, built in the 1930s offers sweeping views of Long Island Sound, New Haven’s skyline, and the lush Connecticut landscape. The structure itself is charmingly historic, with winding ramps and lookout windows that invite you to linger. Whether you’re chasing fall foliage or a summer breeze, this spot delivers peace, beauty, and a touch of New England magic.

To enter the Parking Lot I needed to pay 15 USD. The park is huge, it has a lot of trails, I love it. In there, you can see a lot of squirrels, I also saw a deer. Place very peaceful to walking, relax and enjoy nature. All trails are well marked.

Great little hike up the side of the mountain! To my surprise there was a tower at the top that I was very happy to get to explore. About a mile and a half up to it with beautiful views along the way. The hike down is much easier as it is downhill.

★★★★★ 5.0 Russ Hamilton · Dec 2023

Great park for hiking, you can take the gravel access road all the way to the stone observation tower and or use a myriad of trails of all skills all around the park. Excellent views from tower!
