Stoddard Hill

About

Stoddard Hill is a summit in Connecticut, about 3 miles from the town of Gales Ferry. It sits right alongside Stoddard Hill State Park, which lies just 0.1 mile away and is known as a climbing area, so the hill makes a natural stop for anyone exploring the park's rock or nearby footpaths. For the most comfortable conditions, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station put May highs around 70°F and September highs near 76°F, with lows in the 50s by September. The closest trail is the Blue Trail, also 0.1 mile away. A short drive or walk farther brings you to the Avery Yellow and Avery Orange trails at about 0.8 mile. Climbers looking beyond the park can head to Ghost Face and Grave Yard, roughly 2.3 miles off.
