Second Connecticut Lake

On Route 3 just five miles north of where the power lines end you'll find Second Connecticut Lake. In the heart of Moose country, the lake spans 1286 acres with depths of over 60 feet. The lake is home to landlocked salmon and lake trout . There is a nice public boat launch and day use area on Idylwilde Rd. The small dam discharges its water coming from a depth of about 10 feet.
