"Lake Chaubunagungamaug for short"


The 2009 Source to Sea Expedition: Connecting the Drops Through The Last Green Valley is a three-month celebration of the watershed that includes the Quinebaug and Shetucket rivers as well as the Thames and hundreds of other named and unnamed streams that flow into them. The watershed even includes one of the world's longest place names — Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg or Lake Chaubunagungamaug for short — also known as Webster Lake — just over the border in Webster, Mass.
