    ハイキング

    The Waterbury Reservoir offers many recreational opportunities from fishing, canoeing, kayaking, motor-boating, and swimming to hiking and camping. In the warmer months (late spring to early fall), the reservoir is kept at about 850 acres and at a max depth of ~100 feet. In the winter, the surface area is reduced to between 415 - 610 acres to prepare for spring snowmelt and rains. This scenic beach is a great place to relax and dip your feet in the water after a hike in the Little River State Park.
