Judges Cave

Drove right on up to it. Very interesting place to explore.

The running staff turned into very pleasant. Im hoping that extra humans will find out about this location. The records that incorporate the cave is very exciting. The overlook is extraordinary. The caves are quite wild, you could climb inner, or up on top of the rocks. The history is pretty exciting, worth getting to know your very own time.

I came here to do research for my new novel. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it was a quiet and peaceful park—which I appreciated. Operating staff was very friendly. I hope that more people will learn about this place. It’s a great story from early American History.

This is a really neat place with an interesting history. You can drive right up to where the cave is and have a picnic, and there are trails nearby if you want to hike.

Some New Haven history. Not a cave, just some big rocks. But the story is a good one. Whalley, Goffe, and Dixwell was the Three Judges, hiding up there from the King of England.

Its a very beautiful sight to see. The history that comes with the cave is very interesting. The overlook is awesome. You can see all of New Haven, West Haven and Hamden. Nive trails along the way also.

Great hike up to Judges Cave! Continued onto the Regicides Trail. Id classify this as a moderate hike.

Nice relaxing ride up the mountain, beautiful views

90+ years before Hancock and the boys demanded freedom from George lll these 3 guys signed a death warrant for George l.

Great place to picnic or hangout and explore the cave but you have to be careful of all the glass and trash while exploring

Nice way point along several trails. Kids seem to love the nooks and crannies

Beautiful view with an interesting history behind the cave.

A nice place to visit nd imagine what life was like when the judges stayed there. Other than that its a few big rocks

Everybody loves judges cave. I dont know anybody who doesnt. If u havent been there, go there. Its fun

Able to be driven to, but the hole that begins at the base of so much fun with step and challenging grades that give way to easy slopes!

Loved the hike up to judges cave. It is really nice and quiet and if that is what you are looking for plus the views then this is definitely the place to go

This place is sweet with a slight historical vibe to it

Ausome School trip.Going back kids had a great time nice trails .

My favorite place for a hike and to get peace.

I love this ride with my son its a great ride if youre on bikes thats what we do and we have a great time just bring a trash bag or some grocery bags to help pick up the trash around

Historical cave shelter with great views nearby on the Regicides Trail

Beautiful

Not actually a cave but it was pretty cool. Makes for a good picture if there isnt too many people there. Good trails nearby.

The climbing to the mountain is nice and the observation points around are pretty impressive. But i saw no cave there... Just a few rocks and memorial board.

Always great to know that I can get a nice hike in a beautiful day even in New Haven!

Nice and easy hike. Cool story

Kids love to climb on the boulders and into the cave. One picnic table. Parking around the circle. Access to trails. No restroom.

Nice for a day trip. Right next to the summit, which is a must see while youre there

It would be nice, now that the state charges every driver to use the state parks, that they would practice some upkeep.

Im not sure where most people begin their ascent, but there are several trails that ultimately bring you up there. The trails themselves can use a once over with some new trail markers & signs. As far as I can tell, other then the roadway entrance to the park there isnt any signage for trailheads so if youre not a local it may be difficult to find! Otherwise its a pretty enjoyable hike, some nice lookouts from the side of the mountain. Its a bit surreal, being on a mountain in the middle of the woods in New Haven which is a pretty big city! My kids call it Lego City because it looks so fake and small from way up high. The caves are pretty wild, you can climb inside, or up on top of the rocks. The history is quite interesting, worth researching on your own time. All in all well worth a visit.

Lots of broken glass on the ground and appeared to be poison ivy growing along the path.

Not sure why its a cave when it just three rock on top of each other

Very good hiking place

Nice picnic area

Its a rock. Very historic rock, but a rock.

Hole

I love it

Love this place

Lovely

Not what i was expecting
