The New Milford Green is one of the longest town greens in New England, ringed by Main Street shops, cafes, and a bandstand perfect for summer concerts. The Bank Street Theater anchors the historic downtown commercial district with film and live performances. Candlewood Lake, Connecticut's largest lake, offers boating, fishing, and Lynn Deming Park beach for warm-season recreation. A short drive north leads to Kent Falls State Park and the Appalachian Trail in the upper Housatonic Valley. Harrybrooke Park and the Housatonic River walk edge the town, while Lover's Leap State Park features a gorge with a historic iron bridge and river trails. The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm and regional farm stands and wineries round out the area. Easy trips to Kent's galleries, Washington's Mayflower Inn, and other Litchfield Hills villages are minutes away.
There is more within easy reach: The New Milford Green — one of the longest town greens in New England, ringed by Main Street shops, cafes, and the bandstand; The Bank Street Theater and the historic downtown commercial district. Seasonal highlights include New Milford Village Fair Days on the green (late July) — a town tradition since 1949, Summer concerts at the New Milford Green bandstand, The Bank Street Theater film and live calendar. New Milford rewards visits in every season, from green-season hiking and water days to brilliant autumn foliage and quiet, snow-dusted winters. And because New Milford sits within easy reach of Danbury, Washington, Litchfield, it works well as a base for wider day trips across the region.
