Hartford Reservoir Number 5

Lake

👍👍 Great place for a walk, or a dog walk and bike riding! Love this place and highly recommend.

4.90 (49 reviews) (~24 km from centre)

Barkhamsted Reservoir

Lake

👍👍 No parking on the sidewalk but you can park near the roundabout and walk back. It's really nice to take pictures here since the views are beautiful and peaceful. There's no restroom nearby but I believe there's one near the village.

4.80 (110 reviews) (~51.06 km from centre)

Ashley Pond

Lake

👍 Four miles of flat roads and trails that loop around this reservoir make for an enjoyable time. If your walk around the Holyoke Mall bores you, hop in the car and drive two minutes up the road. You'll enjoy the fresh breeze and the beautiful waterscape, full of nature and friendly people. Take a wal...

White Pond

Lake

😠 DEC has ruined what used to be a little known, natural, multi use area. With all their patrolling, signage and new rules it's no longer the gem it used to be. No swimming? Seriously? I've been swimming from the boat launch for over 40 years. You can't just leave well enough alone?

Lake Mohegan

Lake

👍👍 I give it 5 stars because the trails, the river and the lake are very beautiful. You can go for a trail run, fishing, a hike or just to connect with nature. My only issue here is that people don’t keep their dogs on a leash on top of that they can’t seem to control them either. I had three large dog...

Scoville Reservoir

Lake

👍 Nice place to go for a walk. Trail is 3.5 miles and easy enough for all ages. You do have to cross a road and walk by the Wolcott recreation center to complete the loop but other than that its good trail that is dog friendly ( on a leash of course) There are multiple parking lots around the trail s...

Crescent Lake

Lake

👍👍 This is a great park that my wife and I have gone to on multiple occasions. There are some flat trails, but there are also some very difficult trails that have a lot of roots of roots coming out of the ground. If you are a novice hiker, some trails might not be meant for you.

4.60 (54 reviews) (~18.58 km from centre)
