Scenically, few bodies of water in Connecticut can rival the picturesque setting of Lake Waramaug. When the vivid fall foliage is mirrored in the un-rippled lake surface, the park amazes sightseers and photographers. Countless water activities may be enjoyed in the park.

Activities in the park include camping, swimming, picnicking, fishing, car-top boating, scuba diving, field sports, hiking, ice skating, nature programs, and mountain biking.

There are 76 sites, in wooded and open settings, available in the Lake Waramaug Campground. Additional facilities include restrooms, showers, drinking water, a dumping station, picnic shelters and gravel/grass parking.
