Eaton Brook Reservoir

Eaton Brook Reservoir is a deep, clear reservoir in the town of Eaton, in Madison County. The state Department of Environmental Conservation manages public access, and the steep shoreline gives the water a wild, secluded feel for anglers and paddlers who want a quiet day on the water.

Trout fishing is the main draw, with stocked trout arriving in spring. A concrete boat ramp makes it easy for anglers and paddlers to launch, and evenings are a good time for a quiet paddle on the water.
