Overview
The reservoir is 165 acres of water, surrounded by 150 acres of land and circled by a 2.5-mile path for running and walking. Get the heart rate racing with a couple of a laps around the pond or a game of tennis, hoops or soccer at Glacken Field. For something less demanding, try a round of golf at the municipal course.

Features
Starting in mid-October and going through mid-December you can expect to see pied-billed grebe, ring-necked duck, greater and lesser scaup, bufflehead, hooded merganser, American coot, American widgeon, Ruddy duck, canvasback and black duck. The common loon has been spotted and green herons breed here.
