Indian Head is one of the four peaks in East Ridge Park. Standing at 253 feet, Indian Head is a nice summit that is much quieter than the top of East Rock, but does not afford as nice views. There are plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities, however, and its a nice challenge to add on to East Rock if you are looking to add a little more elevation and milage to your ride.
