About Clam Lake
Clam Lake allows paddlers to enjoy a peaceful small pond in solitude. The lake was built as part of the Farmington River flood control project in the 1970s and has no facilities, so few people visit it. The lake is on Hammertown Road and requires a quarter of a mile portage to the lake. Once on the lake, paddlers can enjoy a 1.8-mile paddle along the shore. The lake has no houses on it, so your paddle will be peaceful. The dam was a massive engineering project and dominates the view from the lake.
