    Go to Laurel Lake if you want to go to a nice lake. Bigelow Brook is a stream that you may come across while you're here, and if you need a spot to stay Fairfield Inn And Suites By Marriott Hartford Manchester is a great choice. Camp Eagle Feather is a good campground nearby, and great hiking is available along the Mattabesset Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit nearby Folly Pond, and after a long day  
   outdoors Hampton Inn & Suites Manchester is a glorious spot to spend a night or two.
Laurel Lake gets a great deal of water; May is when you get the most rain here, and the driest month of the year is February. Powder Ridge has fine slopes and a friendly staff, and whitewater paddling is splendid on Roaring Brook River. Go for a hike on the Metacomet Trail, and get dripping wet paddling on Farmington River.
This lake is so wonderful. Nelson's Family

There are plenty of folks from Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford here at Laurel Lake, and a journey here wouldn’t be complete without a tour to close by Dinosaur State Park. Now, you may believe that's lots but there's even more cool stuff to do here at Laurel Lake.

Metacomet Trail
15 miles away
Gene, The trailhead at 315 and 189 is actually on Mountain Road which comes off the Rd right at the juncture.  The telphone poles are blazed and the trail breaks into the woods about halfway up on the right side of the road.  That is a nice section of trail although we hiked it in the rain.  Happy Trails....I am having difficulty locating the trail head in East Granby at rtes. 315 and 189 that leads to south toward Penwood State Park.  The trail maps say that the trail head is on Mountain Road, but there are no blue/yellow blazed trail markers on either of the two entry points into the woods.  The only indication of the trail is the sign post at the bottom of the road in the three way intersection.  Thanks....
