Lake Hayward Tours

There's nothing like chilling out by the water while you're on vacation. Bring a picnic to Lake Hayward and then stay for an impressive sunset.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when spending time in Colchester. Lake Hayward is an ideal place to begin here, but there are loads of other interesting sights to visit. Colchester Historical Society Museum, Devil's Hopyard State Park, and Gardner Lake State Park are near the body of water and will top off your day nicely.

8.8/10 Excellent! (838 reviews)
Parking was great, although we paid for late check out and was charged an additional fee because we didn’t check out at 11:30. Also, housekeeping did a great job with providing a clean room-but did not know we had late check out and attempted to come into our room at 10:00am. At check out, the front desk didn’t even make eye contact or care.
