Mt. Tom State Park is located in Connecticut on the Morris-Washington line. Mt. Tom is a popular attraction with families in the summer for swimming and cookouts. On a clear day, you may want to take the short hike to the top of Mt. Tom to see the local scenery.
Ice fishing on Mt. Tom Pond next to Route 202. Mt. Tom is the hill behind the pond. You can just about see the tower surrounded by trees at the top of the hill.

Mt. Tom can be reached from two separate trailheads. This one hasn't been used since the last snowfall.
On the rocky trail to the top of Mt. Tom. I don't think anyone is home here.
