With uptown 25 miles of trails to hike and bike you won't be looking for alternate trails for a while. Trails can lead you into some other preserves along Rte. 63 as well. A small lake for fishing (bluegill, catfish, bass and trout), kayaking or paddle boarding with easy access and calm waters most of the time, this is a great place for beginners to start. There is lots of wildlife to observe and picturesque landscape all year round. There is one large loop around the lake for an easy walk around about 1.2 miles long. The parking lot can fill up pretty fast on the weekends and after work.

Serene lake for paddle boarding/boating and natural forest with a little bit of elevation on the hiking trails to get your heart pumping. Stunning views throughout the park, especially from the top. Similar to East Rock in some ways, but less crowded and a bit more rugged throughout.

Serene overlooking beautiful lake wintergreen. You can fish, Kayak, hike or just sit on a stone wall and enjoy. Overlook area has amazing views of New Haven. Very convenient location, minutes away from Merritt Pkwy exit 59 or 60.
