Review:
Haystack Mountain State Park offers an outdoor experience like no other, allowing you to hike the rugged trail or drive the twisting mountain road to the top. You’ll be astounded by the spectacular colors of the fall foliage and the beauty of the mountain backdrop as you explore the park. There is a 34-foot-tall observation tower within the park - Haystack Mountain Tower - and that is the primary landmark which visitors like to see. If you choose to climb to the top, you’ll see amazing views of the surroundings and the neighboring town of Canaan. The public recreation area, which was built in 1917, has a number of activities you can participate in and wildlife lovers will be amazed at the array of animals they come across which may include deer, bears, foxes, and coyotes.
