Discover Mohawk Mountain
Tucked into the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut, Mohawk Mountain is a year-round destination with an unhurried atmosphere that feels increasingly rare. Flanked by two of the region’s most charming towns and rewarding in every season, it’s a place worth returning to again and again. We can’t wait for you to experience everything Mohawk Mountain has to offer.
The upper trails look out over the rolling Litchfield Hills, a landscape that feels quietly removed from everything. In warmer months, Wyantenock State Forest offers hiking trails ranging from easy walks to longer woodland routes. Kent Falls State Park, about 15 minutes away, is one of the most scenic spots in Connecticut and a natural addition to any spring or fall itinerary. After a day spent outdoors, a Red Cottage home gives you exactly the kind of space you want to come back to.
Mohawk runs 26 trails across 650 feet of vertical drop, served by five lifts. The trail mix is well-balanced, with comfortable terrain on the lower sections and more rewarding runs higher up for skiers who like to move. It suits intermediate skiers and families particularly well, with a relaxed pace that makes the day feel enjoyable rather than rushed. Night skiing runs Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday until 8pm, a great way to extend the day with a lighter crowd.
Kent and Litchfield are two of the most rewarding towns in the region. Kent, about 20 minutes from the mountain, has a walkable main street with galleries, independent bookshops, and antique dealers worth an afternoon. Litchfield is one of the best-preserved colonial towns in New England, with a handsome village green and a food scene that surprises most first-time visitors. In fall, the Litchfield Hills rank among the finest foliage destinations in the Northeast. The towns fill up quickly, so plan ahead.
When it comes to eating, you’re in good hands. West Street Grill in Litchfield is the go-to, a warm and polished room with a menu that has earned its reputation over three decades. For something more destination-worthy, RSVP in West Cornwall is a prix fixe experience unlike anything else nearby, where the chef decides the menu for the evening. And when the evening is done, a Red Cottage home is the perfect place to end the night.
