The lake's peaceful, rural north end, smaller, more private, and more wooded, in Connecticut's smallest Candlewood town.
Sherman is the quiet north end of Candlewood, the smallest and most rural of the five lake towns, known for having no traffic light and a slower, more private pace. The northern reaches of the lake are narrower and more wooded, which is exactly the appeal for buyers who want coves, privacy, and nature over a busy shoreline.
