Bull Hill
About
Bull Hill is a summit in Connecticut, about 2 miles from the village of North Grosvenor Dale. It sits in a cluster of hiking, camping and paddling spots in the state's northeast corner. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at West Thompson Lake show September highs around 73°F with lows near 51°F, and May highs around 69°F. The station sits about 175 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top run slightly cooler. The Viewpoint Trail starts about half a mile away, and the Ravenelle Ponds Loop and Shoreline Trail are both under a mile off. West Thompson Lake Campground, roughly 1.6 miles away, is the closest place to stay overnight.
