About

Peak Mountain is a summit in Capitol County, Connecticut, rising to about 729 feet. The nearest town is Salmon Brook, roughly 2.8 miles away. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hartford show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures on the peak run cooler. The Yellow Trail is about 1.3 miles away, and Stony Brook, a canoeing spot, is about 2 miles off. Evergreen Trail and the Ernie's Run mountain biking trail are both within about 4 miles.
