Welcome to Lake Lillinonah

Natural Beauty Meets Peaceful Living
 
Tucked between rolling hills and forested shoreline, Lake Lillinonah is one of Connecticut’s best-kept secrets, a peaceful retreat with scenic charm and a laid-back lifestyle just minutes from the everyday. Stretching across the towns of Brookfield, Bridgewater, Newtown, Southbury, New Milford, and Roxbury, this 1,900-acre lake offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, recreation and privacy.
 
Lake Lillinonah is a haven for those who love the outdoors. Boaters and kayakers glide through glassy waters, anglers cast for trophy bass, and hikers explore the nearby trails of Upper Paugussett State Forest. It's quieter than neighboring lakes, with fewer boats and more wildlife, ideal for anyone seeking a more serene, nature-connected lifestyle.
 
Lakeside communities here are peaceful, elegant, and tucked away, offering stunning waterfront homes, private docks and uninterrupted views. Whether you're sipping coffee on your deck or enjoying a sunset cruise, life on Lake Lillinonah moves at just the right pace.
 
When it’s time to venture out, you’re close to the dining and shopping of downtown Newtown, the village charm of Bridgewater and farm-to-table restaurants and country markets sprinkled throughout the region. And with easy access to I-84, commuting to lower Fairfield County or even NYC is more convenient than you’d expect.
 
Formed in 1955 by the Shepaug Dam along the Housatonic River, Lake Lillinonah was created as a hydroelectric reservoir and today serves as a treasured retreat for locals and second-homeowners alike. It’s not just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle of peace, privacy and connection to nature.
 
If you’re dreaming of waterfront living without the crowds, Lake Lillinonah is your escape.
