About Talcott Mountain State Park

574 acres of the Talcott Mountain ridge span the towns of Avon, Bloomfield, and Simsbury, protecting the summit where the Heublein Tower stands 165 feet above the ground. A 1.25-mile trail leads up to the tower and its museum, a walk that takes 30 to 40 minutes, with picnic spots and views along the way. The Metacomet Trail also runs through the park for hiking.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
