  • A good hike to the top, a fabulous view over Lake Waramaug, and a good hike back. Can't get any better.

  • Although the day was rainy and overcast, the hike was still beautiful. We hiked to the lookout and could just barely see Lake Waramaug through the fog. The biggest problem I found during the hike...

  • Absolutely beautiful! You get a little of everything on Meeker Trail - boardwalk over marsh, wide open fields bordered by trees, and a climb in the woods (some parts are a bit steep) to two viewpoints. Going all the way to Waramaug Rock is absolutely worth the extra leg of the trip! Meeker Trail is well blazed, so if at any point you don't see the yellow dot blazes (or see a different color), you may have found yourself on a different trail. Keep a close eye out at any intersections.
  • Beautiful park with a variety of trails. The surrounding area makes it a perfect addition to a very enjoyable Sunday
