Such a nice area for hiking & paddle boarding! A portion of the trail/area is under construction still (so you can’t hike around the entire reservoir) but what is open is worth visiting. I’ve only been on weekends and it’s not too busy early mornings. Paddling on the water is peaceful – worth the small fee to enter the water. The Mt Hope Rd parking lot can fill up fast but there is ample parking on the road in.
Nice trails, though muddy and coukd be mulched, and beautiful facilities and dock. I hope to do the full 7 mi loop sometime when conditions are better and I am in town. The rock crusher was particularly interesting. I bet it has a story and I wish there was more information about its history.
Great trails and good for all ages. Can’t wait to do the whole 7 miles.
We absolutely love walking here and renting the kayaks! It’s well maintained and there are lots of trails to venture through. The picnic areas that are available to rent are absolutely gorgeous. It gets busy on the weekends but is nearly empty during a weekday. Watch out for ticks, even staying on the trails.
This weekend, our family ventured to the fairly new Reservoir Park at Beaverdam Reservoir. With its boat rentals and scenic trails, it’s the perfect spot for nature enthusiasts. Our little explorers, aged 3 and 6, thoroughly enjoyed the well-marked paths and waterfront views.
