Greater Danbury Area Recreational Lake
Communities
Candlewood Lake is a 8.5 square mile
lake located in Fairfield and
Litchfield counties of western
Connecticut. It is the largest lake in
Connecticut. The lake is bordered by
five towns: Brookfield, Danbury, New
Fairfield, New Milford, and Sherman.
 The
lake is used year-round, although
tourists primarily come during the
summer months for fishing, boating,
and golfing. Along its approximately
60-mile shoreline are five-star
tourist resorts and recreational
facilities, including golf courses,
beaches, and marinas. The lake is
around 40 feet deep in most places,
with some deeper areas that are 80
feet. There is a 45 mph daytime speed
limit for boats and a 25 mph nighttime
speed limit from 1/2 hour after sunset
to 1/2 hour before sunrise. A 6 mph
speed limit is in effect within 100
feet of shore, docks
and any other place marked as hazardous.
Even before the man-made lake's
filling was completed, it became
apparent it would draw summer
vacationers from as far away as New
York City. Land prices on what would
become the shoreline had already
jumped to $1,000 an acre; summer
developments sprang up almost
immediately. To this day Candlewood
Lake serves as a relaxing getaway for
city folk and a year-round home for
others.
