The One Hikeable Lake In Connecticut That’s Simply Breathtaking In The Fall
Here in Connecticut, we’re incredibly lucky to be surrounded by natural beauty. In the autumn months, Mother Nature ups her game here, blanketing the landscape with rich hues of orange, red and yellow. If there’s a perfect time to hike around a lake, this is it. Make plans now to visit Crescent Lake!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

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.

Archery hunting is allowed here from September 15th – December 31st. Make sure to stay on the marked trails while hiking.
