This lake is so wonderful. Talcott Reservoir Main Dam is a place that is close to Talcott Reservoir; nearby you find the Metacomet Trail which is a good hiking trail. If you're a golfer then a glorious nearby course is Buena Vista Golf Course; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Farmington River.
You can never get enough of the tremendous skiing at Powder Ridge; get your pulse rate up on the tremendous whitewater of Farmington River - Collinsville. The trees of Newton Brainard Forest are a great source of shade on hot summer days; swamps like Hart Meadow next to Talcott Reservoir make for great sites to take a look at. The high level of precipitation makes Talcott Reservoir a reasonably wet place; through May this area sees the most rain, and February is the month with the least moisture.

Metacomet Trail
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....
