Whittemore Glen State Park Scenic Reserve
About
Whittemore Glen State Park Scenic Reserve is a small, 7-acre state park in Connecticut, about 2 miles from the town of Naugatuck. Its compact size makes it a quick stop rather than a full-day destination. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 75°F with lows near 54°F, while July and August highs reach about 82°F. Hop Brook Lake Recreation Area is just 0.3 miles away, and the White Trail, Blue Trail and Foote Path all lie within about 3 miles. Rock climbers can head to Jericho Cliff (Junkyard), roughly 7 miles off.
