Todd Lake, a 20-acre recreation area, has facilities such as a bathhouse and a beach where visitors can swim or relax. Hiking trails include the 4-mile Trimble Mountain Trail that begins near the entrance to the campground. A shorter hiking trail winds around the lake, following the ridge of the dam. The lake hosts a variety of waterfowl and wading birds. Be on the lookout for Great Blue Heron, Wood Duck, Blue-winged Teal, Spotted Sandpiper and Belted Kingfisher. Bald Eagle and Osprey may also drop in from time to time. The neighboring woodland will contain songbirds such as Eastern Wood-Pewee, Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos, Wood Thrush and Scarlet Tanager. Wintertime is a great time to visit here because there are few visitors or campers. Watch for sparrows, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Brown Creeper, and Kinglets.
Accessibility: Parking is available. Admission Fee ($5.00 per walk-in or vehicle). Open Daily Mid May - Mid October. Restrooms are available in-season. Although vehicle access is prohibited outside of season, one can park outside the gate and enter on foot.
