Lake Hayward is one of the cleanest lakes in CT. No gas motors are allowed on the lake as it is well protected by this community. With the 3 beaches, activities at the club house, playground, basketball, tennis courts and volleyball there's no shortage of things to do. There is a public golf course and winery right in town. A few of my favorite things are visiting The Cold Spring farm. A quaint honor system farm stand right at the top of the lake. I also love the fantastic hiking at Devil's Hopyard, the falls are beautiful. Make sure to visit Mystic Seaport while you're in town and for the adults, Mohegan Sun.
