East Peak is a part of the Hanging Hills area along the northwest side of Meriden, Connecticut. 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.
Recreation
The East Peak recreation areas are now managed by Hubbard Park which is located at East Peak's southern base. The blue-blazed Metacomet Trail runs through East Peak and there are several other hiking trails that stem from Hubbard Park. The impressive cliff below Castle Craig has become a popular rock climbing route for local mountaineers.
