Otter Brook Lake

"Great walk from the dam to the beach. Can be very icy walk during the winter but it's very pleasant all other parts of the year. It looks like you can swim at the beach with the bouys. There's a portapotty. There's rangers who patrol the park all hours of the day. Don't risk driving your car down the longer roads, there's likely a gate that'll block you."

"Gorgeous views, plently of walking trails, quiet, serene, a great place for a walk, quick drive, or to eat lunch. There is no public car access to otter brook beach, but there is a trail that you can walk to the beach. I go here all the time, it's beautiful."

"DISK GOLF!!!!! ♡ Fun place to hike, swim, play disk golf, have a birthday party, fly a kite.. etc. A great family park! AMAZING disk golf course! (So much fun!!)"

"This is a beautiful damn to visit, just don't go swimming in the lake. Lots of area to walk around and explore on the waterfront and through some of the woods. Nice for getting exercise, fishing, picnicking, exploring rocks, and swimming if you choose to. The lake just happens to get a lot of run off and is typically shut down for swimming. Visit during different seasons for different perspectives."

"This place is in a beautiful spot. Surrounded by greenery, hills, sand and water. Only probs are there is absolutely NO SHADE. Personally, I like the option to sit in the shade if too hot and it's imp for kiddos to get out of the sun here and there. The other issue is that it gets slimy pretty quickly. It doesn't have much place to walk into water without stepping in that muck. So, if you bring along a beach umbrella and some water shoes, you're def going to have relaxing enjoyment!"
