Indian Brook Reservoir. A trail along the reservoir. Dogs must be kept
on a leash in the parking lots, picnic area adjacent to the dam and the
water in front of these areas. Dogs are allowed to be off leash beginning
at the trail head past the last parking lot on the east side of the
reservoir and beyond the trail head at the lower parking lot on the south
end of the reservoir. Dogs must respond to voice commands, cannot chase
the wildlife in the park, and must be within the owner's vision at all
times. (At each trail head we have provided dog mitts, You must pick up
after your dog)." (Thank you Melanie Jannery)
