The Lake
Hills Association |
|
The properties of the Lake Hills Association and its members cover approximately 480 acres in the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut. The area includes almost 525 private homes and approximately 80 acres of common property. Samp Mortar Lake itself has a surface area of fifty-two acres and four miles of shoreline. Approximately half of the shoreline is the common property of the Association.
Recreation facilities include 5 sandy beaches, lap swim
lanes, baseball field, playground, tennis court,
basketball court, nature preserve and 5 docks. Management and maintenance of our over five hundred
member association is entirely through the voluntary
contribution of time and talents of the members. Our dues are currently $200 per household per year
which are used for payment of insurance, specialized dam maintenance
and repair, events, salaries for our lifeguards and the Pow-Wow newsletter. The Pow-Wow communicates special
events and Association business to the membership.
Annual activities include children and adult swim
lessons, canoe races, summer picnics, visits by Santa and
the very popular Easter Hat Contest and Candy Hunt. The
general meeting of the membership is held in January each
year. Members are invited to the monthly board meetings,
held usually on the third Thursdays of the month at the Fairfield Woods Middle School Library at 7:30pm.

The Lake Hills Association, Inc. was
formed in 1952
when a local developer purchased Samp Mortar Lake, Dam
and associated watershed area from the Bridgeport
Hydraulic Company. 
The land
surrounding the lake had been homes to generations of
Native Americans including the Sasqua, Pequonnock and
Mohican tribes.
