Catamount Reservoir
Hike along a 3-mile trail to see three waterfalls as it winds around Catamount Reservoir. This is a wonderful summer hike. The trail will take you through parks and open meadows while passing two beautiful lakes, one man-made and one natural. Don’t forget to bring your camera because there are plenty of picture opportunities!
