Connecticut: Mt. Frissell

2,454 ft (748 m)

Connecticut’s highest point isn’t actually on a summit—it’s on the southern slope of Mount Frissell, at 2,380 feet (725 meters). The mountain’s peak lies just across the border in Massachusetts, but a short, well-marked trail leads to the exact highpoint within Connecticut. Located in the rugged Taconic Range, this spot offers a peaceful hike through hardwood forests and rocky outcrops, with rewarding views across the tri-state area. It’s a quirky but memorable stop for highpointers, offering both solitude and a bit of geographic trivia in the quiet hills of the state’s northwest corner.
