Lake-Hayward
is a spring-fed lake in northern Connecticut. It lies within the northern section of the town of East Haddam. Lake Hayward, which was originally called Long Pond, is 1.5 miles long and a half mile wide. It has four private beaches, with seasonal vacation cottages nestled among the wooded shore. The lake is stocked each year with brown and rainbow trout and is a great place to hike, bike, fish, picnic, and other lakeside activities. Lake Hayward is about four miles around and is perfect for scenic drives, especially in the autumn with the fall show of colors. Members of the Property Owners Association of Lake Hayward enjoy benefits such as potluck dinners, bingo, dances, arts and crafts, as well as enjoying the tennis courts, ball fields, playgrounds and well-kept beaches. The town of East Haddam, which borders Lake Haddam, has a population of approximately 8,500. It's a historic town where Revolutionary War hero, Nathan Hale, taught school during the winter of 1773-1774. The schoolhouse where he taught is still standing at Hopyard State Park off Route 82. Other attractions in the area include the castle home of actor William Gillette, built in 1914. Hopyard State Park also offers excellent hiking and biking trails, camping, and bird watching, including regular sightings of bald eagles.

Lake Hayward Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
