Colebrook River Lake was created in 1969 after the completion of a flood control dam by the United States Army Corps of Engineers along the west branch of the Farmington River. It is located in Colebrook and is accessible via a seven-mile loop of Route 8, which provides access for foliage viewing excursions during the autumn months. The lake is a popular spot for brown and rainbow trout fishing and also offers opportunities to catch large and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, northern pike, and pan fish. Other popular activities at the lake include boating, canoeing, kayaking, geocaching, birding, and wildlife watching.
