About

Mount Riga State Park Scenic Reserve is a 336-acre state park in northwestern Connecticut, about 5 miles from the town of Lakeville. It is a compact protected parcel in the state's far corner, close to several well-known trails. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. At Falls Village, the nearest weather station, typical September averages run around 75°F for the high and 49°F for the low. The reserve sits within easy reach of longer outings. Paradise Group Campsite Trail is under a mile away, and the Appalachian Trail passes about a mile off. Undermountain Trail and the Sage's Ravine campground are each within about a mile and a half, making the reserve a natural stop on a day spent hiking the surrounding ridge country.
