Gardner Lake

Gardner Lake is a small lake lying at the junction of three Connecticut towns: Salem, Montville, and Bozrah. Named after the Gardner family who owned a large portion of the surrounding land, the 529-acre (214 ha) lake has been expanded in size with the construction of an earthen dam. Three state parks are located around Gardner Lake: Minnie Island State Park, Hopemead State Park, and Gardner Lake State Park. Four campgrounds, a marina and dozens of private residences surround the lake. The lake is used for fishing and boating.
