These water bodies provide important recreational opportunities, aesthetic values, and ecosystem services that contribute to the quality of life, environment, and economy of the state. Over the past 400 years, Connecticut has undergone significant alterations to its landscape. As a result of these mostly anthropogenic activities, including clearing of forests, agriculture, and urban and rural development, there have been significant impacts to the water quality of Connecticut’s lakes and ponds. While a natural process, the eutrophication of lakes caused by excess nutrient export in runoff has been, and continues to be, a pervasive problem (Siver et al., 1996).

  • Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake
    Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake Mansfield Hollow Lake is an engineered impoundment of the Natchaug, Mount Hope and Fenton Rivers that resulted from the installation of a flood control project. The main function of the basin behind the dam is for flood control, although the lake is also used for many popular recreational activities. The CT DEEP Fisheries Division manages a northern pike nursery near one of the lake inlets and a boat launch for public use. The floodplain behind the dam is managed by the CT DEEP as Mansfield Hollow State Park. Swimming in the lake prohibited in the park by Connecticut State Statute section 25-43 due to its proximity to a downstream surface water drinking water intake. Landing of pontoon planes on the lake is also a prohibited activity under this legislation. Construction of the Mansfield Hollow Dam by the US Army Corp of Engineers was completed in 1952. The lake that formed behind the dam in Mansfield Hollow stretches over 450 acres through Mansfield, Windham, and Chaplin. It has a maximum depth of 16.5 feet. The flood storage area of the project, which is normally empty and is only utilized to store floodwaters, totals 1,880 acres and extends about three miles up the Natchaug River, 2.3 miles up the Mount Hope River, and 3.2 miles up the Fenton River. The project and associated lands cover 2,581 acres. Mansfield Hollow Lake can store up to 8.3 billion gallons of water for flood control purposes. This is equivalent to 6.1 inches of water covering its drainage area of 159 square miles.
