Fairfield County, Connecticut serves as a fantastic destination for business, pleasure, and everything in between, and one reason is the significant natural beauty and outdoor recreation on tap within easy reach of the New York metropolitan area.
A key component of that outdoor playground is Candlewood Lake, a reservoir on the Housatonic and Rocky rivers that, at more than eight square miles in area, ranks as the biggest lake in the Constitution State. With boutique accommodations at Hotel Zero Degrees Danbury, you’re less than a half-hour from its beautiful, hill-tucked shores, which call their strongest this time of year.
Candlewood Lake
From swimming to boating to fishing to sunbathing on the beach, Candlewood Lake is one of Connecticut’s great summer outdoor destinations, and it’s yours to enjoy as a guest of ours here at Hotel Zero Degrees Danbury. The reservoir was created in the late 1920s, and before long its sprawling, islet-dotted waterscape, edged by rolling forests, became an absolute magnet for vacationers.
Among the best spots for enjoying the place is Candlewood Lake Town Park, owned and operated by Danbury Parks & Recreation. Its 11 beachfront acres provide plenty of room for kicking back and putting in some quality R&R time in the summer sunshine, plus options for taking a dip or a boat ride. The park also encompasses picnic facilities and a playground. It’s an awesome and easy-to-reach spot for a daytrip in the fresh air and happy warmth of a Fairfield County summer afternoon during a stay at Hotel Zero Degrees.
