The City of Meriden Watershed Reserve Land is a large tract of land that is protected by the city to preserve the natural habitats in the area. The area includes two peaks, West Peak and East Peak, which gives you great views of the nearby area and there are several beautiful, quiet roads to ride along.

There are 2 ways to tackle the MTB trails at Crescent. You can do the lower trails, by heading up the hill from the parking lot. There's about 6.5 miles of trails on the lower section that criss-cross, but can be done with little replication. Then there is upper Crescent. You leave the parking via the road and get on the trail next to the goat farm. From there, you take 3 lefts as you climb to the top of Sunset rock. There are another 6-10 miles of trails at the top, which can then be combined with the lower trails to make a mega loop. Plan on spending over 90 minutes doing the upper section, compared to about 60 minutes doing the lower section. The upper section can be very technical in spots. Don't follow the blue trail as it's for hiking only and is not navigable by bike (unless you really want to hike a bike). MTB trails have a red paint or pink tape marker and can be very tough to follow in the fall.

The Trout Pond is an idyllic spot to cycle around with plenty of interesting wildlife to spot around the clean and well kept pond. Also a great spot to stop for a well earned break along your ride.

Shuttle Meadow Reservoir is a freshwater reservoir that provides water to New Britain. Originally, the water was fed to a small reservoir on the top of Walnut Hill Park to the east. You get great views of it when you ride past it on Andrews Street, where you are right on the water's edge.
