Cedar Island (Clinton, Connecticut)

Cedar Island is a former island in Long Island Sound belonging to the town of Clinton, Connecticut in Middlesex County, Connecticut. Currently the island is a peninsula attached to Hammonasset State Park in Madison, CT due to the filling of the strait in a public works project to improve flow of the Hammonasset River through Clinton Harbor.
==Physical description==
The average elevation is at high tide; low tide can add .
The island measures one and a half miles long by a quarter-mile wide and lies about a quarter of a mile from Clinton Harbor. It has about 54 houses and summer cottages (mostly built before 1950). Many have piers for boats and fishing. The normal summertime population of the island is between 100 and 150 people.
The undeveloped western two-thirds of the island form one of the few unimproved areas of shoreline along the Connecticut coast. Notable vegetation includes salt marsh and salt meadow cord grasses (''Spartina species'') beach plum (''Prunus maritima''), Cape Cod rose (''Rosa rugosa''), and juniper trees that are referred to locally as "cedars" (''Juniperus virginiana''). Abundant bird life is also present on the island. Protected nesting areas for the piping plover (''Charadrius melodus'') are provided in the spring. The American oystercatcher (''Haematopus palliatus'') is frequently viewed along with the osprey (''Pandion haliaetus'') and other seabirds common to Long Island Sound shore.
