Harwinton
is located in Litchfield County in northwestern Connecticut. The population is around 5,000 residents. The quaint town is home to the Harwinton Conservation/Recreation Area, which offers hiking trails, picnic tables and pavilions, tennis courts, a playground and sand volleyball court. There's also a pond at the recreational area that's stocked with trout each spring. Litchfield County is geographically the largest county in Connecticut, but is the least populous. It's perfect for those looking to get away from it all in a rural/semi-rural area. It's home to the West Branch of the Farmington River, which is a designated Wild and Scenic River. On opening day of fishing season each year, the nearby village of Riverton hosts a tournament that draws anglers from throughout New England. Also near Harwinton is Lake McDonough, which has several beaches and offers fishing and boating opportunities. There are many historic spots in the region, including the Old Riverton Inn in Barkhamsted. Other nearby places of interest include the Peoples Forest Museum, and the Beaver Meadow Complex Prehistoric Archeological District.
