Cathole Mountain

Cathole Mountain, 515 feet (157 m), is the lowest peak in the trap rock Hanging Hills of Meriden, Connecticut.

The rugged southern ledges of the mountain rise steeply 150 feet (46 m) above the city of Meriden.

The mountain consists of two prominences, the southern ledges 341 feet (104 m) and the main peak one mile to the north.

The cliffs continue south with views over Meriden, but there is no official trail that runs the length of them.

Activities enjoyed on the peak include hiking, rock climbing, and in the winter, snowshoeing.
