Saugatuck Reservoir was created by the 1941 damming of the Saugatuck River by the Bridgeport Water Company, known today as Aquarion Water Company. Today, the 827-acre reservoir is a lesser-known site for outdoor recreation, offering undeveloped natural conditions for hikers and shore fishing. Boating and camping are not permitted at the reservoir, but 13 miles of shoreline offer ample opportunity for hiking and wildlife watching. Rainbow and brown trout are stocked annually, and populations of largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and walleye are prevalent. An accessible fishing dock is provided, located within the nearby city of Weston.
