Hop Brook Lake is spread over three communities in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. These communities are Naugatuck, Middlebury, and Waterbury. A dam was created across Hop Brook in Naugatuck and the lake that was created is known as Hop Brook Lake.

Construction

Construction of the dam commenced in December 1965 and was completed in December 1968, costing $6.2 million. The relocation of {{convert|1.8|mi|km}} of Route 63 was required. The project includes an earthfill dam with stone slope protection {{convert|520|ft|m}} long and {{convert|97|ft|m}} high; an earthfill dike measuring {{convert|400|ft|m}} long and {{convert|33|ft|m}} high; a gated rectangular {{convert|425|ft|m|adj=on}}-long concrete conduit three feet wide and five feet high; and a chute spillway edged in rock with a 200-footlong broad-crested weir. The weir's crest elevation is {{convert|17|ft|m}} lower than the top of the dam.

The flood storage area of the project, which is normally empty and is only utilized to store floodwaters, is {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} long and spreads out over {{convert|270|acre|km2}}. The project and associated lands total {{convert|553|acre|km2}} throughout Naugatuck, Middlebury, and Waterbury. Hop Brook Lake can store up to {{convert|2.23|e9USgal|m3}} of water for flood control purposes. This is equivalent to eight inches (203 mm) of water covering its drainage area of {{convert|16.4|sqmi|km2}}.

Recreation

Hop Brook Lake contains a {{convert|21|acre|m2|adj=on}} recreation pool that has a maximum depth of {{convert|18|ft|m}}.

Hop Brook Lake contains largemouth bass and panfish. The state stocks both the lake and its feeder streams with trout. Recreational development of the reservoir includes picnic sites, walking trails, a beach, ball field, drinking water, and sanitary and parking facilities.
