Meriden, CT

united states

Meriden sits right in the middle of Connecticut at the intersection of I-91 and Route 15, making it a natural pit stop for travelers heading between New York and Boston. The city is about 20 minutes north of New Haven and 25 minutes south of Hartford via I-91, with several EV charging stations along the interstate corridor. What sets Meriden apart are the Hanging Hills, a series of dramatic traprock ridges that rise suddenly from the Connecticut River valley and offer hiking trails with views across three states.
