     National Computer Camps is a glorious campground nearby; there are plenty of people from New Haven-Milford here at Foxon Pond. This lake is so wonderful. Graniss Pond Dam is worth a visit since you're here, and a round of golf at nearby Twin Lakes Golf Course is a nice way to kill some time. All the water falling down from the sky makes Foxon Pond a wet place; during May this area sees the most rain; February on the other hand is the driest. Days Inn -New

Good sized lake for the area, however boating is strictly forbidden. Gorgeous, peaceful surroundings (no houses), and wildlife abounds. The deer often tolerate people closeby. The fishing can be good for the experienced bass fisherman willing to hike around to the various small, scattered areas where casting is possible. These spots are often choked with brush so accurate casting, texas-rigged soft plastic baits, and at least 8lb test line are a must. I've caught a few 4-5lb bass and some good sized pickerel....
