This is a difficult hike. It’s a steep climb. The trailhead is about a 15 to 20 minute drive up Rt 77.

Bluff Head is the highest point in Guilford an has a great overlook along the blue-blaze Mattabesett Trail with connections to other parks for a loop hike.

Another favorite hiking destination Guilford has to offer. This hike is up a mountain, but view from the top is breathtaking!

The Bluff Head Preserve is perhaps the Guilford Land Conservation Trust’s crown jewel. Not only is it one of the most beautiful places in Guilford – so voted in a recent town wide survey of natural resources – but it is also geologically one of the most significant places in south central Connecticut. The land trust began buying land at Bluff Head in the 1960s. Today, it owns more than 870 acres there, including most of the area around the sheer, 500-foot traprock cliff as well as the adjoining areas of Totoket Mountain. Bluff Head and its adjacent areas, rising to more than 720 feet above sea level, are the highest points in Guilford, The Bluff Head overlook offers unparalleled views to the east, north (to Hartford) and south (to Long Island). The view includes the Broomstick Ledges and other properties on the east side of Route 77 protected by the land trust. Immediately under the cliffs is Meyerhuber Pond, most of which GLCT bought in 2002. The pond and Hemlock Brook are the only bodies of water in Guilford that drain to the north, into the Coginchaug River and, eventually, the Connecticut River. The pond was reportedly dug by a farmer named Conrad Meyerhuber, using a team of oxen. (Look for Meyerhuber’s grave in the old cemetery just south of the parking lot on Route 77.)
