Ball Pond, CT

Ball Pond is a quiet lake community tucked into the southwestern corner of New Fairfield, Connecticut, right along the New York border. Centered around the clean, peaceful waters of the pond itself, the neighborhood is mostly made up of charming homes on wooded lots. It offers a relaxed setting for anyone looking for lakeside living without feeling isolated.

Life here revolves around the water, which stays calm and quiet because gas-powered motorboats are prohibited. That makes it a fantastic spot for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and year-round fishing for trout and bass. Residents enjoy a small community beach and a state boat launch, while New Fairfield’s schools, library, and town center are just a short drive down the road. For bigger water adventures, the bustling marinas and town beach at Candlewood Lake are right next door.
