4.3.22 If you're looking for a walk, a stroll, a run, something safe for little kids? This is your spot. It's only 2 miles total out n back and it's a wide path. Great for solo walks or big family groups. Enjoy the beautiful views.

Great place for an easy hike. Wide roads, plenty of room for pedestrians, dogs and cyclists. The dam at the end is the cherry on top. Great views!

Love this for a flat, short, scenic walk or time spent with young children. Trail is clean, people are respectful of park bylaws for the most part.

Yes there is a park nearby then short trail leads to the dam. It's a nice place for picnic or walks.

I have two questions to ask the first and: do we have to pay to enter, and the second and if you can have barbecue ??? ¿¿¿

I can answer the first question - you do not need to pay to enter

Is it a far walk for someone to the dam with a walker or can park near?

It is a 0.5 mile walk on a flat, paved asphalt walkway from the parking areas until you are on top of the dam structure itself. The parking areas are on either end of the dam trail off Route 202 and off Torrington Ave, with the dam at the center point between them.
