    It's always fun to stop by Turtle Pond. The slopes of Thunder Ridge are so inviting noone can resist, and in case you don’t mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Norwalk River. For the duration of the days of summer, highs usually are in the 80's at Turtle Pond; the overnight is a tad colder of course, typically in the 60's. For the period of the winter highs are in the 30's, and nighttime lows in the 10's for Turtle Pond.  
   If only every site had this much outdoors fun stuff, what a great world it would be.
You could also have a look at Mamanasco Lake if you're here at Turtle Pond; it's nearby, and dry warm beds await you at Danbury Super 8 Motel. A golf course close to Turtle Pond is Ridgefield Golf Course. There's so much to do here at Turtle Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Mountain Workshop is a great place for that. This lake is so wonderful. Seth Low Pierrepont
 
               State Park Reserve is a magnificent spot to stretch your legs a bit; as expected Mopus Brook flows through this vicinity.
Man, is there lots of enjoyable stuff to do right next door to Turtle Pond. You're sure to come across some wonderful folks from Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown here; if you've had enough of Turtle Pond, Mamanasco Pond is close by. The high level of precipitation makes Turtle Pond a quite wet location; during the month of May you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is January. This lake is so wonderful. Ned Mountain can be made out from Turtle Pond, and Turtle Pond is glorious enough to spend more than a day at, Kettletown State Park is a glorious local campground.
After a long day outdoors Springhill Suites By Marriott Danbury is a good place to spend a night or two; if you're interested in hydro structures, you can visit Mamanasco Lake Dam. There are swamps here too; Pumping Station Swamp is nearby; whitewater paddling is perfect on East Aspetuck River.

I was at the camp from 1963-1969. It shaped my childhood. My mother was there when she was a kid too. I found her name carved into one of the bunks on the rafters: Sydell Freiman 1949! Shame it's not used anymore for innercity poor kids, like we were. Ellen Knebel...I'm sad to hear that the camp itself is not there any more. I worked there in 69-73...I began working on ''the senior side'' and we livrf in ''the mansion'' for one summer. ...There was a house at the middle of the camp itself where the camp director lived. Is it still there??...(2008) I know the family that owns this beautiful property.
