Used to swim at the Ballouville dam when I was a kid.

The current owners of the property surrounding the dam and falls put up extensive no trespassing signs many years back and are sticklers for enforcing it. I am not sure when you swam there but I’m guessing quite some time ago?

That fits that is when I left CT and went to college and I know those folks had not bought the stone house by that point. The Stone house there technically owns all that property along the 5 mile river and the land right up to the dam and now there’s no trespassing signs everywhere. You can still stand on the bridge and look at the falls and damn but no swimming or going down around to the shore
