CT Lakes Natural Area. Take East Inlet Rd east off hwy 3. You will cross a single lane bridge & the road will T. Go either direction & within 1/2 mile you will enter CT Lakes Natural Area. This is privately owned land conserved for public use. There are no formal campsites, but there are numerous grassy pullouts from the dirt road. As far as i can see in google earth, all roads eventually dead end. A van or smaller will do fine. 2-wheel drive worked for me & i drove several miles on the roads exploring. Trailers or larger rigs won’t have any place to turn around, & some of the roads get narrow. At most times my hotspot was able to provide wifi service. Only saw 2 other vehicles the entire time i was in here. It’s beautiful. You have a brook that mostly follows the road if you turn left @ the T, or the CT river if you turn right. I did not spend the night bc i am a solo female & both the other trucks i saw had single men. I got creeped out that they knew i was in there alone. If i was invisible or with someone else i would definitely have stated. This seems like a place you could spend a few days with no problems. No fires allowed. Leave no trace principles to be followed.
