The William Jezek Memorial Preserve is located along the shoreline of the Moodus Reservoir. The preserve has frontage on Daniel Peck and Beebe Roads and a long stretch reaches the reservoir.
The land hosts a moderate-aged oak/beech/red maple forest with several wetlands, a small brook flowing into the reservoir, stone walls, and steep slopes. A branch trail system rambles through several wetlands and provides access to the upper Moodus Reservoir.
The White Trail can be accessed from Daniel Peck Road or from Beebe Road. The Red Trail can be accessed from the White Trail and leads directly to a nice view of the Moodus Reservoir.
