East Peak is a part of the Hanging Hills area along the northwest side of Meriden, Connecticut. This is the highest point anywhere along the east coast of the United States within 25 miles of the shoreline. A dramatic cliff runs along the eastern and southern flanks of the mountain and Merimere Reservoir is located at its eastern base. East Peak is better known for Castle Craig, a large stone tower situated at the top of the south end of the mountain where, on clear days, Long Island is visible.
