I went to this park due to an invite to my nephew's graduation party, as I live quite a distance away from it. I was quite impressed with the professionalism of the one staff I had met, but what impressed me the most was the overall condition of the park. It was clean, as in nothing was out place or in disarray. Both the lake and the mountain surrounding it was definitely a site to behold, as throughout my 3 hour visit I felt like I was back home sitting in my yard across from our local mountain. It seems like it would be a great place to walk/hike/explore, judging by the number of regular walkers and dog walkers that I had seen there. Would love to go there again and just walk/hike for awhile. Highly recommend if you just want to experience a rural part of Connecticut surrounded by suburbia.

Artificial lake good for sub-board or canoe. A gravel path, mostly flat, along the lake suitable for a good walk or for running.

Super fun place to go for a walk or just to eat with family. It’s very adventurous especially for the hikes but always stays chill at the same time. Wonderful times of the year to visit is definitely spring, summer, and fall. Fishing is available for those that want to and it’s an excellent spot for photographers.

Lake beach swimming place . Good for kids . Sand beach . Picnic area , shower and restroom available. Recreation area is 1 mile far from office location. It's visible from road . You can bring food for picnic. Park ranger available for security which is good for safety. Once you enter park you may find parking but don't park there . Go inside straight. Ample BBQ spot are available . Bring your own charcoal and enjoy . Restroom is small but okay for the purpose.
