Talcott Mountain State Park, State park in Avon, United States.
The 574-acre park extends across three towns and features the Heublein Tower, which stands 165 feet tall on Talcott Mountain ridge.
The Heublein Tower, constructed in 1914 as a summer residence, represents early 20th-century architectural design and engineering on Connecticut mountaintops.
The park functions as an educational center where visitors learn about conservation, regional wildlife, and natural history through guided programs.
Marked trails of different difficulty levels wind through the park, connecting various observation points and natural formations across the mountain.
The tower structure incorporates specific engineering elements to withstand winds of 100 mph at its exposed mountaintop location.
