With trails, a pavilion, picnic areas, and plenty of green space, the Hop Brook Lake Recreation area is a popular spot for running and walking. You can keep your run short and just jog on the trails around the reservoir or connect to the trails over in the Connecticut Water Company Easement on the other side of the highway.
