At a glance
Overview
Tolland State Forest sits on the southwest shore of Otis Reservoir, with a DCR-run campground and a public sand swim beach. The beach is lifeguarded in the summer season; there is a day-use fee and a separate boat ramp for the reservoir. Otis Reservoir is large and open to motorboats, so the swim area is roped off from the rest of the lake.
