Oakdale

Oakdale is small, but a charming village in New London County, which forms a part of the town of Montville. It's close to both Hartford and New Haven, the home of Yale University, and New York City and Boston are within a two-hour drive, so it is easily accessible. This whole region is filled with sparkling waterways, crystal clear lakes, lush forestland, and picturesque walking trails, and the numerous charming local towns have a relaxing old-fashioned atmosphere. Spend your time exploring the picturesque nearby towns of Woodstock and Mystic, or checking out the lovely Oxoboxo Lake. You can also check out Gardner Lake, Fort Shantok, and The Dinosaur Place at Nature's Art Village.
