Lake Saltonstall is a long narrow lake located in south-central Connecticut. It covers an area of approximately 0.66 square miles and is nestled in the center of the trap rock Saltonstall Mountain. Lake Saltonstall provides a home for many species of birds and forest animals. Here you can hike, jog, or bicycle along nine miles of trails, learn about local plants and animals while walking along the 1.4 mile interpretive nature trail, or take advantage of some of the finest freshwater fishing in the stocked lake. A wheelchair accessible floating pier is located on site.

The AllTrails website has a map and description of a hike at Lake Saltonstall.
