Trudeau Boulders is a bouldering area in New York, about 1.7 miles from Long Ridge, Connecticut, just across the state line. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with the Southern Loop climbing area about 0.1 mile away and the Western Loop hike about 0.2 mile off. The area has nine bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V5. The easiest is Angler warmup at V0, and the hardest is Kelly's Problem at V5. The median grade is V2, so the boulders here range from easy to moderate. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Stamford, Connecticut, show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 85°F. Nearby, the Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve is about 0.7 mile away, and the Old Farmland Trail and Todd Pond Trail are each about 1.2 miles off. Westmoreland Sanctuary, another climbing area, is about 3.9 miles away.
