Here in Connecticut, we’re incredibly lucky to be surrounded by natural beauty.

The red trail goes right around the perimeter of the lake and makes a two-mile loop. The green trail is 1.5 miles and is located south of the lake. The yellow trail is hilly and more strenuous. It lies along the north portion of the lake and is three miles long.

The park is open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily. You can bring your pup along, just keep him on leash and clean up after him.
Archery hunting is allowed here from September 15th – December 31st. Make sure to stay on the marked trails while hiking.
