    Hiking

    Shenipsit Lake is a 1.8 mile section of the blue blaze Shenipsit Trail from Rt. 74 to Shenipsit Lake Rd.  The largely follows an old rail bed that is within sight of the water, but never gets close.  There is one opportunity on a short side trail to reach the water’s edge about halfway down the trail.  The trail is flat and easy walking with a couple bridge crossings over small streams.

    Heading south: 1.2 mile road walk coming from Tolland Agricultural Center

    Heading north: 2 mile road walk to Lake Bonair

    History

    The Connecticut Water Co. has owned the majority of land around the lake since at least 1926.
