(In the map of Lake Winnemaug , there are two roads, Flintlock Road and Caruso Drive, that seem to be connected, and another road, Mohican Road, that seems to connect with Lake Winnemaug Road. They were intended to be, but residents of the Lake Winnemaug area decided that it would be best to leave the roads unconnected to preserve the peace and tranquility of the lake and avoid unnecessary traffic around Lake Winnemaug . If anyone were to try to travel any further along these roads, you would most likely find your way obstructed by a dense patch of trees and no dirt road to follow).

During the summer months, boating, fishing, and canoeing are popular activities to enjoy on the lake. Non-residents of the Lake Winnemaug area have access to the lake via a small landing at the southeastern edge of the lake, near Caruso Drive. Residents of Lake Winnemaug can access the lake from the landing on Lake Winnemaug Road and also from the northern half of the lake via the Lake Winnemaug Association, which has a small swimming area, beach, picnic area and playground for Lake Winnemaug area children and adults to enjoy.

A Day At Fulton Park, Waterbury, CT

The Lewis Fulton Memorial Park, which sits nestled between the Crownbrook, Upper Fulton Park and Overlook neighborhoods of Waterbury, is the largest of the city's major parks. Occupying nearly 70 acres, Fulton Park encompasses two large ponds, a babbling brook that runs between them, playground areas, scenic walkways, a poolhouse, basketball courts and a baseball field. Fulton Park is one of the most popular sites in the city for taking wedding photos on a clear sunny day. There is a 7-11 24 hour convenience store located across from the northern pond and a recently (within the last 3 years) opened pizzaria, Park Pizza, provides excellent pizza and other hot deli items for those famished by a walk in Fulton Park.

Along the Banks of the Naugatuck River -

Anyone familiar with Waterbury and its history knows that many of the old factories that powered Waterbury's dominance of the region were located near the Naugatuck River, which somewhat divides the city almost in half. Waterbury's more affluent neighborhoods (Bunker Hill, Town Plot, Robinwood, West Side and Country Club) all lie west of the Naugatuck River. Route 8 neatly runs parallel to the Naugatuck River through town on the same side, crossing it once in the South End. Most of the railroad tracks lay in shambles and piles of rubbish lie along the middle and northern stretches of the Naugatuck River by Thomaston Avenue. However, as the Naugatucl River flows through the center of Waterbury and approaches Naugatuck, a rather startling transformation takes place. Many of these photos of the Naugatuck River, taken at the end of winter, display the beauty of the river unmarred by Waterbury's industrial past.
