About West Rock Ridge State Park
West Rock Ridge State Park is a public recreation area located in New Haven, Hamden, and Woodbridge, Connecticut.

The park's 7 miles (11 km) of open west-facing cliffs offer vistas encompassing Metropolitan New Haven and suburban towns to the west. The park includes Judges Cave, a colonial era historic site; Lake Wintergreen; and the 7-mile (11 km) Regicides Trail, part of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association's Blue Trail system.
