Cathole Mountain, Mountain summit in Meriden, United States.
Cathole Mountain is a summit in Meriden that reaches 515 feet in elevation and is defined by steep southern rock ledges. These ledges rise approximately 150 feet above the surrounding city landscape and form the most visible feature of the site.
The mountain was formed roughly 200 million years ago through volcanic activity in the region and is composed of trap rock. This ancient geological process shaped the landscape that exists in the area today.
The mountain forms part of the Metacomet Trail network that connects local hikers across Connecticut. This trail system is actively used by outdoor groups throughout the region.
Access to climbing areas requires a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation in Meriden. Annual permit renewal is necessary before engaging in climbing or hiking activities on the mountain.
The summit features two distinct high points including southern rock ledges reaching 341 feet and a main peak located approximately one mile to the north. These two separate points create an interesting geography that visitors exploring the area can discover.
