Feature Island


Regional Information

Forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls and sandy shoreline all add to Connecticut's beauty. With its wealth of open land, Connecticut’s scenery is some of New England’s most beautiful. Other draws to Connecticut are its 250-mile Long Island Sound, numerous inland lakes and unspoiled Connecticut River Valley – all perfect locations for a private island. Its scores of Colonial villages are filled with historic homes and landmarks. Dozens of golf courses are open to the public; boating, fishing and swimming opportunities are everywhere. Despite New England’s reputation for a rugged climate, Connecticut’s weather is relatively mild.
