Mount Riga State Park

Mount Riga State Park spans 276 acres of undeveloped natural terrain at an elevation of 886 feet in northwestern Connecticut.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection established Mount Riga State Park in 1954 to preserve this natural space for public recreation.

The park functions as an outdoor recreational space where local residents gather for traditional activities such as bow hunting and nature observation.

Visitors access the Appalachian Trail through the Undermountain Trail, which begins at the parking area located along Connecticut Route 41.

Sages Ravine near the park contains a historical boundary marker that indicates the precise border between Connecticut and Massachusetts states.
