If walking your 4 legged best friend you need to watch out for fishing line etc that I’ve found many times all over the place presumably by kids fishing there
Nice place for a walk if you are careful about all the roots.
Great place to walk your dog. There is a wide, easy 1 mile trail that circles the scenic lake, along with connection with the Middlebury Greenway for longer walks. Very nice.
Beautiful place to hike around the lake! Great outdoors/nature experience. No cost but not much parking area unless you park in Long Meadow Park.
Great place to fish!! Bring alot of worms! Went thru over 200 worms in 3 hours and only caught 3 fish. Watched a black bear go for a swim. It’s over grown on the trail but still beautiful
