Lake Lillinonah (Pond Brook) Boat Launch
About
Lake Lillinonah (Pond Brook) Boat Launch is a boat launch on Lake Lillinonah in Connecticut, about 2.5 miles from the village of Hawleyville. It sits at the Pond Brook arm of the lake, giving boaters a put-in point for getting onto the water. The warmer months are the most comfortable time to launch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury run from highs around 72°F in May to about 85°F in July, with September easing back to about 75°F. Winters are cold, with January highs averaging about 36°F. Two trails start practically at the launch: the Lillinoah Trail and the Mulliken Trail, each about a tenth of a mile away. Sachem's Ridge Loop lies about 3 miles off, and paddlers looking for moving water can head to the Pomperaug River, roughly 7.7 miles away.
