The Twin Lakes of Salisbury, Connecticut are Lakes Washinee and Washining, whose supposed identities as twins seem in conflict with their dissimilar size and shape. However, they are called the "twin lakes" not because of their size and shape, but because of their namesakes, two daughters of a Mahican chief. Twin Lakes is also home to the world-renowned, executive private club, "Twin Lakes Beach Club". 〔http://www.cttwinlakes.com/index.html〕 ==Geography== Lake Washinee is about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long, and under a quarter mile (0.4 km) wide of except for its squarish roughly 0.5 by 0.6 mile (0.8 by 1.0 km) southernmost section. Its deepest part is around 80 feet. Lake Washining is much rounder, and roughly 0.9 by 1.3 miles (1.5 by 2 km). It has a maximum depth of 21 feet. Much of the shore is wetland, but there are some private residences. There is a thermocline that forms around 15 feet. Twin Lakes is located in Salisbury, Connecticut; approximately 5 miles away from the Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York border. The two lakes are separated by an isthmus under 300 feet (100 m) wide, and they maintain the same water level. They are located in the Housatonic Valley in northwestern Connecticut. Near the 'Between the Lakes Road' is located a series of limestone caves, including the Bashful Lady Cave, one of the longest in the state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twin Lakes (Connecticut)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
