The property known as Lake Williams used to be called Williams Pond and is still listed on older maps as such. At some point in time the three owners of the property surrounding and including the pond dammed the pond and created a Lake. Each of the owners owned approx. 1/3 of the lake/lake bottom. One of the owners created Lake Williams Beach Association and sold properties. The second owner created Lakewood Drive and sold waterfront properties to approx. a dozen homes. The third owner donated a small portion to his property to the town for a carry on boat launch area. The rest of his property was sold to the State of Connecticut to preserve the land as a park. When this occurred 1/3 of the lake with surrounding land turned into a State Park. This Island along with another owner occupied island and 4 other islands became surrounded by a State Park. This is favorable since it prevents further construction on that end of the lake. It protects the natural beauty surrounding the Island. Additional lakefront Lake Cottage may be purchased if needed for access to the lake for 299,000. Cottage not sold seperately.
