New-Fairfield
is located in western Connecticut on the border of New York. It is approximately 50 miles from New York City. As of the 2010 census, the population of the town was 13,881. New Fairfield is one of five towns that borders Lake Candlewood, which is the largest recreational lake in Connecticut. Squantz Pond State Park is partly in the town of New Fairfield. It's part of Lake Candlewood, but is separated from the main body of the lake by Route 39. Lake Candlewood has approximately 60 miles of shoreline and is surrounded by resorts, marinas and golf courses. It's approximately 40 feet deep in most places, with some places reaching 80 feet. Activities at the lake include swimming, fishing, boating, sunning on the sandy beaches, picnicking and golf. Scuba divers can even go down into the lake and see artifacts left behind when towns were evacuated when Candlewood Lake was created in the 1920s. Divers explore underwater roads, cars, buildings and even covered bridges. Other attractions in New Fairfield include the Cosier-Murphy House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the New Fairfield Historic District.
