Sunset Rock State Park is located in Hartford County, Connecticut just 25 minutes southwest of the state's capitol, Hartford. Enjoy hiking throughout Sunset Rock State Park, as it lies on acres of undeveloped land. Much of the summit of Bradley Mountain and the upper ridgeline west of the summit extending down to Plainville Reservoir has been conserved as Sunset Rock State Park, an undeveloped state property, and as water conservation property managed by the town of Southington. The popular 51- mile Metacomet Trail passes close by and is a spectacular place to visit while in the area.
