The hiking trail covers the expanse of the reservoir. It is open year-round from sunrise to sunset. A considerable portion of the trail is located along the old railroad grade and on the existing town roadway in Tolland and Ellington and provides a lake-view walk.
The trail encompasses "minimum hill climbing" and is not suitable to qualify as a handicapped accessible trail.
