The Lake

A groomed sandy beach with Adirondack chairs, umbrellas and shade trees, steps from the clubhouse porch. Two big grills and a beachside firepit are there for anyone to use; the fire bowl comes out on long summer evenings.

Bring your own cooler, a book and the kids. Please leave the sand the way you found it.

The swimming area is bounded by the club’s two stationary docks and a floating dock, and trained lifeguards hired by the club supervise it during the season. Swimming outside the marked area is at your own risk, there is no diving from any dock, and the float is reached by its ladder only.

Kids under 12 need a member adult or a babysitter with them at the waterfront. Lifeguard hours: .

Members can keep a boat at the club for the season: a slip at the dock for a motorboat, or a beach space for a sailboat, Sunfish, catamaran or canoe. Slips are limited and assigned on application, so they are not guaranteed.

Season fees (2026): beach boat space $150; dock slip $350 for unpowered boats or under 15 HP, $950 over 15 HP or wider than 7 ft, plus 6% Connecticut sales tax. The boat application is page 2 of the membership form.

The club keeps kayaks, paddleboards and rowboats on racks by the beach, marked with a TLBC sticker, for members and their guests to use — no sign-up, just put them back and return paddles and life vests to the bins.

Connecticut law requires an approved life vest on every paddler; under-12s go out with an adult; club boats stay ashore from dusk. Launch and land outside the swimming area.

Twin Lakes Day, the Twin Lakes Association’s summer tradition, brings swimming, canoe and kayak races for every age. Powerboat owners keep to the no-wake zone within 100 ft of the club and all State boating rules, and skippers under 16 have an adult aboard in the dock area.
