West Suffield Mountain

About

West Suffield Mountain is a summit in Capitol County, Connecticut, rising to about 642 feet. The nearest town is Salmon Brook, about 4 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 top run cooler. Several other outings lie within a few miles. The NET/M&M Trail (white) and Muddy Brook, a canoeing spot, are each about 3 miles away. The Yellow Trail is about 3.4 miles off, and the Diamond Ledge climbing area is roughly 7 miles away.
