The area just past East Haddam is fun also....on the other side of the little island. That usually has quite a few boats, but be careful of the sandbar, getting in there can be a tad bit tricky.

I stand corrected! The river is a great place for hanging out, tubing, exploring islands, and if you have not seen Selden creek you are missing a scenic wonder. When my kids were young and I had a 19' open bow runabout it was great and we spent a lot of time there. My point was the river s not a great place for "Go Fast" boats cruising as the no wake zones and speed limit are a PITA! The only place I know of to beach / anchor and play in the sand on the CT side is Napatree beach, and it is in RI. It's worth the trip though.

On the CT side in Fairfield county you have the Crabshell in Stamford(very hot place to roll up to by boat on Thursdays and Sundays) & Captains Cove in Bridgeport. There are some places on the Housatonic river in Stratford as well(Knapps Landing, Outriggers(great food) and Margarita Grill). There is a Fountain dealer at Margarita grill. Not a whole lot else in my neck of the woods.
