New Milford’ pristine beach offers endless opportunities for water sports enthusiasts. The clear and warm waters are perfect for swimming, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, and diving. Take a leisurely stroll on the cool shell embellished sand or simply lie down in your hammock and catch a few rays. Dotting the beachfront are many elegant New Milford chalets, and several tiny cafés where you can drop in to relish some authentic seafood delights with refreshing drinks. Enjoy fishing and an interesting boat ride in the placid lake or go for a long walk in the scenic countryside. One of the must visit attractions in the town is New Milford Historical society and Museum which provides education, historical and cultural activities for the public and maintains historic documents and exquisite artifacts of the town. Some of the collectibles on display include antique toys, paintings, an 18th century cooking hearth, and Peruse portraits of New Milford’s first families. And when your day has ended, don’t forget to take home some souvenirs and gifts from the Museum shop to stay connected with the past. If you have ample time, plan a day long trip to the charming town of Lakeville, which is just a short drive away from New Milford.
