Twin Lakes Real Estate for Sale in Connecticut
The Twin Lakes of Salisbury — Lake Washining (East Twin Lake) and Lake Washinee (West Twin Lake) — are connected freshwater bodies in the far northwest corner of Litchfield County, sitting at the foothills of the Taconic Range near the Connecticut–Massachusetts border. The two lakes together cover approximately 580 acres. Lake Washining and Lake Washinee are connected by a culvert and were named for the daughters of a Mahican chief who originally settled the area; Washinee translates to "smiling water." Real estate on the Twin Lakes is limited and changes hands infrequently.
