Porter Reservoir access parking

"First time here and I was out there for 2 and a half hours just exploring the entire area and most of the trails that run through. A lot of beautiful pine trees which makes it looks really pretty while walking through. There are three reservoirs which are very pretty and very peaceful to sit and just stare at the water. There is also a really big koi fish that I heard has been there for many years and yes I finally got to see it. I only ran into a few people and it was mostly walking around the reservoir on the trails there was nobody there. Definitely a pretty easy hike"

"Beautiful reservoir with fantastic views and lots of wild life! I especially enjoyed seeing the Golden Koi that lives in the pond. So many fun trails to explore and very walkable."

"I took members of my group, Gratitude Choice Project on a gratitude walk at the Porter and Howard reservoir today! Wow! What an amazing, healing ans peaceful experience! We did 3.2 miles of connecting, meditation, and mindful movement on the white and pink trails! We do this every Saturday morning on different trails throughout CT, but this area was a surprising hidden gem! #grateful #mentalhealth #selfcare #gratitude #nature #gratitudechoiceproject"

"Many different trails to explore! Very easy to navigate as well."

"What a fantastic, beautiful place! A great walk on an easy path, plenty of side trails to explore, so I would use a tracking app like AllTrails to avoid getting lost. Will certainly be back!"
