    Hiking

    This is an overlook area for Asylum Reservoir #2 (the most popular and largest of the 3 reservoirs). The reservoirs were originally constructed to supply water to the mental hospital nearby, which is why they are named the way they are. There are a bunch of different spots to view the lake, and the trails on the property are marked really well.

    Hiking

    I'd love to visit, hike the trails, find the best viewpoints, and maybe even dig a little deeper into the background of how these reservoirs came to be. geometrydashmeltdown.io
