Candlewood Lake

Great boat rentals at Gerards Waters Edge Marina. We rented a pontoon boat for 10 people and toured the lake all day. The rental was expensive but split between three couples, it was well affordable. We dropped anchor, swam, water tubed, ate lunch, toured the lakehad a great time. Great people to deal with

We were invited to the private lake house neighborhood of Candelwood Lake in New Fairfield by friends of ours to celebrate the fourth of July, only a 45 minute ride from Trumbull and it feels like a whole different world, reminds me of the Cape, beautiful beaches and crystal clear water the Lake is huge about 8 miles and is the largest lake in Connecticut, the lake is bordered by five towns: Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, New Milford, and Sherman, there is also public access to the lake, where we were, there was a private dock and 2 beaches with swimming platforms, we also went on our friends pontoon for a ride across the lake, it is beautiful up and down the Lake, there were plenty of other boaters, water skiers and jet skis enjoying the great weather, fun time was had by all, can't wait to return

Candlewood Lake is a great place for boating and fishing. The town of Sherman has a boat launch for your trailer/boat. Just bring your own bait or stop in New Milford for some. Avoid during the holidays, tooo crowded. pete

Went out boating with friends and loved it as we always do. Beautiful weather and scenery. Very crowded on such a nice day so be very careful with all the boats and jet skis and such. Find a calm cove and drop anchor and swim and take it all in. Everyone so friendly. Keep an eye out for the friendly pirate ship that may come to visit. So much fun was had. An absolute must if you are in the area.

It’s cozy, peaceful, refreshing, fun every year I make a trip to candlewood lake living about 30 min away it’s just a short trip and just a great place to relax and catch some sun without the hassle of a beach

The fall foliage was beautiful reflected off the lake. We visited during an unseasonably hot fall day and the area was full of families enjoying the beautiful weather.

Perfect lake to learn how to host, water ski or tube on. Very quaint and peaceful. Love to go out for week day dinners. That's when the lake is peaceful.

Great lake for boating and spending the day in the sun and in the water! Loved the views on the lake and the different things to do even kayaking. Highly recommend it.

Love this lake and nearby Squantz Pond .but with more people, more boats, more pollution and more homes, how long will this gem last?
