Clinton Community - Lindera Lane
Clinton is bordered by Madison, Westbrook, Killingworth and Long Island Sound
Lindera Lane is located off scenic Chittenden Hill Road in historic Clinton. Bordering Long Island Sound, Clinton traces its history from 1663. As with most small New England shore towns, life centered on fishing, farming, shipbuilding, and the church. Clinton has maintained its strong small-town spirit while expanding to offer convenient shopping, exceptional recreational facilities at Indian River and the Peters Complex, and a town beach with a picnic area, volleyball courts, concession stand and playground. Clinton is known as the Bluefish capital of the world, which it celebrates at the annual Bluefish Festival.
