Level walk through beautiful woods! Some of this trail is along a beautiful stretch of water. Gorgeous fall day in New England.

Just a nice place to stretch the legs. Easy access to either end it's a good place for a walk, run, or even a bike ride. The surface is hard pack gravel with a gentle grade. Woods and a water view on the south end. Approximately 2 miles one way.

Enjoyable and fairly quiet. Bring bug spray.

Beautiful place for bird watching, biking, walking your dog (only at this end), or walking through some trails through the woods. A ways in and down a hill off the right there is an adorable brook crossing that gets a beautiful lighting in the mid-afternoon (in fall and spring). The trail there goes back quite a ways but I don't believe it loops, there are many offshoot trails for walking and some of them loop back.

The big wetland near the entrance in great for wildlife, and the small wetland/swampy area farther in usually has beautiful spiderwebs glistening in the sun. Plenty of benches for resting at, but it's especially satisfying when you make it all the way to the pond for your rest.

Really nice flat easy walk not busy often. 3.3 miles total out and back. Nice bridge over looking the reservoir it is a little windy in that area.

It's an easy walk that almost anyone can do. But it's very beautiful, as we pass through lakes, streams, & lots of foliage. It's good to stop by the lake to sing & chat with local strangers too!
