It&#8217;s called Bingham Pond if you simply must know, and it&#8217;s otherwise unremarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guys gave me a pass. Steve kept the car running with air conditioning turned up high so I could continue with my much needed cool-down and rehydration. They bushwhacked through a thicket of weedy grasses, brambles and muck in search of shoreline. They were able to get pretty close. The swamp was about as dry as it ever gets and they snapped a few photos after pushing in a fair distance. I&#8217;ll let Steve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctmuseumquest.com\/?page_id=18610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recount the adventure<\/a> in his own words. I could see the pond from the car and called it &#8220;good enough.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t need to go traipsing through the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deepest Natural Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8843602994\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3764\/8843602994_e385eb5c31_b.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Wononscopomuc.

The name is a mouthful: <a href=\"http:\/\/lakewononscopomuc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Wononscopomuc<\/a>. Try to say that three times fast! I can&#8217;t even say it one time slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t take much depth to become Connecticut&#8217;s deepest lake, apparently. Lake Wononscopomuc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Wononscopomuc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is only 102 feet deep<\/a> at its maximum point with a mean depth of 36 feet. It also goes by another name &#8212; Lakeville Lake &#8212; which wins an award for circular logic. The town is named for the lake which is named for the town which is named for the lake&#8230; and so on. Maybe they chose Wononscopomuc simply to stop the madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had a nice, sandy beach which would probably have been perfect on a hot, humid day such as the one we faced. But we were there on a mission. We remained at Lake Wononscopomuc long enough to dip a finger in its placid waters and check a box on our list, then we moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Largest Waterfall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kent Falls State Park\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C2tgrQjfmH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/DEEP\/State-Parks\/Parks\/Kent-Falls-State-Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kent Falls<\/a>, the largest waterfall in Connecticut, impressed me considerably more. The waters cascaded 250 feet over several ledges, the longest of which dropped about 70 feet on its way to the Housatonic River. People seemed to be enjoying themselves at the picnic area and in a couple of different pools created by the falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park instituted an alcohol ban that went into effect the day we arrived. How did they know we were heading there? No worries, this was an alcohol-free adventure (until we stopped for a celebratory beer near the end).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homeliest Covered Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8842977151\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/2819\/8842977151_df53755bd7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Bulls Bridge.

This historic covered bridge dated to 1842 and seemed to be attracting a lot of tourist attention. This was a stop of convenience, a worthy detour simply because it was minimally out of our way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We weren&#8217;t aware of any &#8220;extreme&#8221; designations for the structure so Steve made one up. It&#8217;s rather plain so it became the Homeliest Covered Bridge in Connecticut, and maybe all of New England. We weren&#8217;t sure on that latter point and offered that up in case someone wanted to challenge it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Spiteful House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8842976441\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7378\/8842976441_56f2e99864_b.jpg\" alt=\"Gaylordsville Spite House.

Check out this weird little wedding cake home. The builder designed it intentionally as a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spite_house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spite house<\/a> complete with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctmuseumquest.com\/?page_id=15634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">truly bizarre back story<\/a>.
