Famous bass and trout fishing and winter snowmobiling?! West Thompson Lake is classic Connecticut, with lots to do and real seasons that affect when you can do it. In addition to summertime anglin' and wintertime snow blasting, there's seasonal hunting and epic autumnal leaf displays. Once you're out here you'll have a hard time believing you're within two hours of Boston, Providence, and Hartford. You'd better believe there's hiking, boating, and camping of every type so the whole family can experience nature in the northeast within an easy drive of the city.

West Thompson Lake Campground is one of the few more traditional, government-operated campgrounds in a Connecticut National Forest. If you'd rather skip all the pre-planned activities and fish, hike, and bike in a more natural and rugged setting, look no further.
