The Reservoir covers about 2,000 acres with its clear-blue waters, and has a capacity of 55 billion gallons. The Round Valley Recreation Area is one of the few parks in the state to offer wilderness camping. These campsites are on the east side of the reservoir, which is accessible only by boat or by a hike of at least 3 miles from the nearest parking lot. The 9-mile Cushetunk Trail is the longest of 3 marked trails in the park. Scuba and skin diving are also popular activities available to adventurers. Lake trout are the prized fish for anglers, although there are 18 other species in the reservoir. The state record American Eel (6 lbs, 13 oz), Smallmouth Bass (7 lbs, 2 oz), Brown Trout (21 lbs, 6 oz) and Lake Trout (32 lbs, 8 oz) were caught in the reservoir. Clinton Township.
