One of Connecticut’s most iconic state parks reopens Friday, more than a year after it was rocked by heavy storms.
Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden was hit by high winds and tornadoes that blew through the state in May 2018.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection removed thousands of damaged trees since then. Work on the park’s main trail, called the Tower Trail, was completed this week.
The restoration cost about $735,000. The state says about two-thirds of that will be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
