Lake Wintergreen is only a small section of West Rock Ridge State Park, but provides a pleasant and easy walk around the lake.

Descriptions, maps, and directions: https://ctparks.com/parks/west-rock-ridge-state-park Park at the boat launch at ~40 Main Street, Hamden.

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
