Barkhamsted is a northern Connecticut town that’s split by the reservoir with the same name. Only 16 miles south of the Massachusetts state line, Barkhamsted provides a quiet, laidback setting with an emphasis on the natural beauty of the surrounding elements. Most of the town is densely wooded, with winding roads that hide houses and apartments that are few and far between. There’s a greater concentration of residential developments in the southwest corner of Barkhamsted, but if you’re looking for a bustling locale full of restaurants and shopping centers, you won’t find it here. Locals gather in and around the reservoir during the warmer months, and at Ski Sundown in the colder months. There are miles of hiking trails and wildlife areas to enjoy all year round. Hartford is just a 35-minute drive to the east should the buzz of the city call your name.
