Diana S Pool In Connecticut Is Almost Too Beautiful To Be True

The Natchaug River meanders through Connecticut showing its beauty with every twist and turn, but perhaps the most scenic spot of all along the river is Diana’s Pool. Large boulders trap crystal clear water creating a natural pool that is absolutely stunning.

Diana’s Pool is a little oasis in the town of Chaplin. Large boulders and forested river banks surround this small natural wonder.
