It lies 12.0 miles north of Danbury, CT (from Danbury, CT: bearing 351°T), and is situated 7.0 miles east-north-east of Patterson. The air here, especially as autumn begins to deepen, carries a crisp, earthy scent, a promise of woodsmoke and damp leaf mold. Streams, no wider than a man's stride, meander through the woods, their banks often carpeted with moss and fern, feeding into the larger, placid waters that give Lakeside Woods its name. The very character of the place is one of quietude, of a gentle acquiescence to the slow turning of seasons, where the loudest sounds are often the rustle of wind through leaves or the distant call of a hawk. The history of Lakeside Woods is intertwined with the industrious spirit of early New England, a time when water power was the engine of progress, and small mills once dotted the banks of its tributaries. While those days of bustling industry have long since faded, the legacy of that hardworking past can still be felt in the enduring independence of its residents. Today, Lakeside Woods is known for its comfortable, unpretentious charm, a place where a significant portion of its residents commute to larger centers, yet a strong sense of local identity persists, fostered by a commitment to preserving its natural beauty. The lake itself, a focal point for recreation and quiet contemplation, remains the heart of Lakeside Woods, a constant reminder of the very elements that drew people to this particular corner of Fairfield County.
