Check out the two mile trail that runs along the east side of the lake. It is just off of rte 74, heading west, little oval blue sign that says Shenipsit Trail, just across the street from a hair salon. There is no parking lot, park on side of the road. If you want to get a better view of the lake, take a side trail. The one I like is visible but unmarked, about 1.25 miles from the start. The water is low this year so there is some beach, normally there is not.

Beautiful place to see fall colors at. Shore fishing is allowed and you can just enjoy the scenery sitting on a chair on the banks of the lake. Very pretty place to be.

I think I already said something about this place but... it's a beautiful lake/pond, it does have trails that are marked but beware there are no trespassing signs around and you can go fishing during fishing season only catch and release only with the proper licenses. The loop around the lake is an awesome walk and dogs are allowed...
