This is a pretty sparse page currently as I work on completing the eastern half of the state.  That being said I’ve hit a number of the highlights in New Haven County detailed below.

My Recommendations

Best Overlook: With a long stretch of the Metacomet Ridge this one is too close to call until further explore the county

Best Waterfall: Roaring Brook Falls (Connecticut’s tallest single drop)

Other Highlights: The Tower of No Bull Salvage
