Doggy friendly lake in Putnam!…read more This pond looks like a lake since it's pretty big for a "pond" but once you're in the water you can definitely tell you're in a pond. Clean, warm in the summer, perfect spot for tubing or just floating around. Came here for the first time not knowing much about it but here's what you DO need to know: -bring sunblock -bring a floating device -fishing friendly (there's a dock just for it) -don't expect to find a nice area to sunbathe -dogs are welcome inside and outside of pond -no restrooms/changing area -plenty of parking (it's free!) -dock for tubing -kayak friendly -paddle boards too! -no shops -no food area -no drinking fountain -bug spray recommended I don't think I missed anything but that's your little wrap up. It's a lazy lake I'd say where you can just let yourself be carried away and float on your floatie. Fun spot for friends. Definitely bring drinks and food or at least a snack since there are no shops around. I totally get it that people are upset about the whole bathroom thing but truthfully it's a free pond, just drive up somewhere near by and that's it. It's ok to be a little outdoorsy sometimes just yeah, don't do it in the water lol.

Update Sept 10, 2020:…read more I've taken off 2 stars to reflect a lack of communication from the company to clear up an issue. I've emailed both email addresses and called multiple times. No reply/answer. So the package of pre-season tours I bought cost $120. It was for two 2- person tours, with an regular value of $240. First, the coupon code generated never worked. I had to call and email to get them to confirm that I actually got booked for the tours I wanted. Thankfully, they got back via email fairly quickly. But, I also realized that the prices online were $25-30 per tour per person for their regular tours. So, my preseason coupons were actually MORE expensive than had I just booked it regularly online. Technically, after two tours x 2 people I would still have at least $10 left on the account. Or do I still have $130 left since regular value was $240?? If they made a mistake with their promotion, fine. I just wanted an explanation. I'm not looking to get more than the original 4 spots out of that coupon. However, after multiple emails and calls. I still haven't gotten answer. That's just not professional. And I'm also not looking to get back the $10 that may still be on the account. We had a great time. And I left the tour guides a generous tip each time. The company needs to look into their promotions and make sure their customers are getting what they're paying for. And, it needs to answer emails. I can understand being understaffed, esp during Covid, and being unable to answer your phone all the times. But, emails...no answer for 2 weeks now. Inexcusable.

It's an all wood vessel designed after the old sailing sloops. And I must say it's a very good-looking vessel. The crew, which was made up of almost all volunteers, were great and very personable. As part of the trip, we all got to help hoist the sail which was quite the experience. It actually takes a lot of work and people to hoist this massive sail. We sailed in the evening and got to watch the sun set over the city. We were lucky that there was enough wind to get us moving but not too windy that it made the sail rough. We had a such a great time and wished that the sail was longer!

There are no restrooms on boat or in the parking area of the park. They have an outhouse if you really need to go. Is down the stairs in a dark closet like space. So if your thinking of trying this makes sure your bladder is empty before getting on. The staff are very friendly and respectful. They can answer all your questions. It was a fun trip. Ring your own snacks they don't sell anything on the boat. I am glad I got to experience the ride on a sailing boat. But for me one and done works. You can help raise the sails if you want to.

Candlewood Lake is the largest lake in Connecticut. It spans 5,420 acres, 11 miles long, 2 miles…read morewide, 65 miles of shoreline, depth up to 90 feet, and has 12 islands. It also borders five towns: Danbury, New Milford, Brookfield, Sherman,and New Fairfield. This is a very popular place for all kinds of water sports, and bass and trout fishing. There are two state boat launches and many marinas for docking. The shoreline has so many magnificent homes, and don't be surprised if you see a seaplane landing or taking off on the lake. This lake usually gets very busy on the weekends in the summer.

Have not been on the lake for quite a while and decided to give it a shot. Ok, so it was a really…read morenice Sunday and I know it will be busy, and my expectations were that it would be busy. Launch at Lattin's Cove was solid jammed and the number of rude idiots just simply ASTOUNDING. No courtesy for other boaters/pwc's whatsoever. Couple of morons were camped out on the dock and screwed up everyone else's put in/take out routine. No surprise to see the NJ and NY registrations on their PWCs. While coming back in, 3 idiots on PWC's came screaming past us in the no wake zone to "beat" us to the ramp, then they sat there blocking one side of the launch. One fellow asked nicely if they could move over just a bit so he could launch his pwc and he got snapped at by one of the tattoo queens... "we're leaving in a couple of minutes". Definitely will not go back here on a weekend anytime soon. Very sad because it never used to be like this.

The pass is not free with two options available (1) pay per visit pass or (2) pay a set fee that allows you free unlimited visits but it's slightly costly (I don't remember the exact cost) so if you don't visit often then the pay per visit pass is the better option. Considering the distance from any real pools and/or beaches this is a great option if you want to cool down during the hot summer months and live in Cornwall. They have one large pool ranging from 3 FOW to about 12FT for diving. Outside the large pool there is a kiddie pool/sprinkler setup. I don't believe a pass is needed for the sprinklers. The pool is gated and has material covering most of the gate to make for a semi-private experience. Overall a really well kept facility for locals. They may have a non-resident option to gain access to this pool but expect to pay a premium which helps maintain the pool.

After having difficulties loading up the boat for the season, a worker finally came by to rudely inform us what was being done wrong. We don't work at a marina or on boats, we launch the boat in May and it stays in the lake at our dock until the fall- two different processes done once a year each. The worker stood there to say what was done wrong and as we tried to fix the issue continued to make rude comments about us fixing the problem incorrectly. Talk about helpful costumer service! Not. I'd suggest bringing your boat to Candlewood if you have the choice- larger slip to lunch your boat and probably better customer service.
