Peter’s Rock Park protects a wooded traprock landscape in North Haven.
Its trails provide a nature-focused outing on terrain that rises above the surrounding developed area.
Use the local association’s current trail map to choose an authorized route and entrance. The photograph shows the park’s identifying sign during an earlier visit rather than the view or footing on a particular trail. Expect uneven ground and match the walk to your ability. Stay on marked paths, keep back from exposed edges and respect adjoining private property when approaching the park.
