The Woodtick Reservoir, often referred to as Scovill's Reservoir, is a large man-made pond covering approximately 121 acres. It was constructed in 1917 and was originally associated with the prominent Scovill Manufacturing Company, which needed large amounts of water to produce brass.

Today, the Woodtick Reservoir is home to a variety of fish and is stocked twice annually by the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (Deep). This year 1,400 fish were released, some before the opening day of fishing season and some during the season. A popular fishing destination, the Woodtick Reservoir can be accessed from the shore in a variety of locations such as the bridge on Munson Road, near the walking trail on Wolf Hill Road, or by the main entrance located at the end of Scovill Road (located opposite the corner of Woodtick Road and Todd Road).

Woodtick Reservoir is also a popular location for canoes, kayaks, and small boats. A public boat launch is available at the main entrance at the end of Scovill Road. There is an electric-motor-only restriction on Woodtick Reservoir.
