Known as Connecticut’s largest natural lake, Bantam Lake is a great place for families to bond and enjoy nature any time of the year. Visitors can take part in recreational activities on the water such as sailing, ice boating, and fishing, as well as visit any of the lake’s two beaches. The smaller beach, Morris Town Beach, is a great option for unwinding and relaxing, while the larger Sandy Beach offers picnicking areas, a bathhouse, and a canoe launch. Bird watchers will also enjoy a visit to the Marsh Point peninsula located on the northern top of the lake, which is a protected home of various bird species.
