Pistapaug Mountain, also known as Paug Mountain, est. 700 feet , is a traprock mountain located 11 miles northeast of New Haven, Connecticut. It is part of the narrow, linear Metacomet Ridge that extends from Long Island Sound near New Haven, Connecticut, north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to the Vermont border. Pistapaug Mountain is known for its rugged topography and bluff overlooks, unique microclimate ecosystems, and rare plant communities. It rises steeply 300 feet above the Pistapaug Pond and the Quinnipiac River valley to the west. The mountain is traversed by the 50-mile Mattabesett Trail.
Located within the town of Durham, Pistapaug Mountain is 2 miles long by 0.5 miles wide, although rugged topography makes the actual square mileage much larger. The Metacomet Ridge continues north from Pistapaug Mountain as Fowler Mountain and south as Totoket Mountain. Pistapaug Mountain is an important aquifer; Pistapaug Pond, located at the foot of the mountain to the east, is a drinking water supply. The mountain is largely wooded but offers a few clifftop overlooks to the west over Pistapaug Pond and the Quinnipiac River Valley.
