About Big Pond
Big Pond offers a modest expanse of water stretching across New London and Windham counties in Connecticut. With its 38 acres, it provides an intimate setting for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a quiet spot close to the towns of South Windham, Willimantic, and Baltic. The lake's shallow nature, with no significant depth, makes it accessible and easy to navigate for various activities. Surrounded by natural Connecticut landscapes, Big Pond is framed by nearby state parks such as Hopeville Pond State Park and Pachaug State Forest. These parks add a layer of scenic context to the area, enhancing the overall outdoor experience without overshadowing the lake's own charm.
