The Making of Candlewood Lake from Mike Allen

The Making of Candlewood Lake from Mike Allen In-Person / Online

Join Mike Allen and learn about the making of Candlewood Lake! It’s the largest water body in Connecticut - a beautiful recreational facility with 70 miles of coastline that sports multi-million-dollar mansions and 46 billion gallons of water that supports flotillas of recreational watercraft. And yet, the primary purpose of 100-year-old Candlewood Lake is to generate electricity using incredibly unique hydro power technology. This award-winning project meant the flooding of two villages and the creation of engineering marvels that are still awe-inspiring a century after they were built.
