East-Hampton
is located in central Connecticut's Middlesex County. As of the 2000 census, the population was 13,352. The town of East Hampton includes the villages of Cobalt, Middle Haddam and Lake Pocotopaug. East Hampton is what one would expect of a New England town - covered bridges and white-steepled churches, and stunning views surrounding a tranquil lake. The village is home to one of Connecticut's largest inland bodies of water - Lake Pocotopaug. It's also the site of Hurd State Park, Meshomasic State Forest and Salmon River State Forest, which all total offer 884-acres of outdoor recreational fun. The often-photographed Comstock Covered Bridge, which is the only remaining covered bridge in eastern Connecticut, spans the Salmon Ricer near Route 16. Local legend says that the bridge is haunted, which makes it even more intriguing for visitors. Other local attractions include the Chatham Historical Society Museum and the Joseph N. Goff House Museum and Cultural Center. The Meshomasic State Forest is popular for hiking, mountain biking and hunting, while Salmon River State Park offers fishing, hiking, mountain biking and picnicking. The gem of the area, however, is Lake Pocotopaug, which has been a popular resort for years. The picturesque lake is surrounded my summer cottages and covers approximately 512 acres. Two islands lie in the center of the lake, separated by a narrow, shallow strait. Various recreational facilities are located around the lake, and it's also known for its' swimming and boating activities.
