Mount Frissell-South Slope
#36About Mount Frissell-South Slope
Mount Frissell-South Slope is Connecticut's highest point at 2,380 feet, though the actual summit of Mount Frissell is in Massachusetts. The Connecticut high point is located on the south slope and requires a moderate hike through mixed forest. The area straddles the Massachusetts-Connecticut border.
History
Named after early settler Ebenezer Frissell, this peak represents an unusual situation where a state's highest point is not actually a summit but rather a point on the slope of a mountain whose summit lies in a neighboring state. The area provides habitat for typical northeastern forest wildlife.
