A 528-acre natural lake in Salem/Bozrah/Montville famous for the house that fell through the ice in 1895 while being moved across the frozen lake, settling in deep water near the middle. Divers have long visited the collapsed structure, though by the 2000s it was reported mostly rotted away. The site is usually reached by boat from the state launch.
