Few places offer the charm, scenery, and recreational opportunities found in the state's northernmost
town. If fishing, hiking, boating, moose-watching, snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing, or just relaxing
are on your list of favorite things to do, then Pittsburg is the vacation spot for you. The largest
township in the North-east, Pittsburg encompasses 300 square miles. Along with the famous Connecticut
Lakes, there are scores of back-country ponds and streams, and miles of wood roads available for touring
by foot, car, or snowmobile. Lake Francis, First, Second and Third Connecticut Lakes, offer excellent
cold water fisheries on largely undeveloped shorelines, and have some of the finest trout and salmon
fishing to be found anywhere.
While fishing is a popular sport, the lakes and the Connecticut River are also used for boating. For
those interested in more passive forms of relaxation, the 28-mile drive from Pittsburg village to the
Canadian border is a scenic drive almost guaranteed to net you a view of at least one moose. Chinook
winds howling, snow six feet deep, temperature zero, wind chill minus 50 degrees, this is Pittsburg in
the winter. Nothing accelerates a snowmobiler's heartbeat more than miles of well-groomed snowmobile
trails. Mountains covered in rime frost and glistening under an azure sky, this type of magnificent
scenery marks this territory from almost every trail.
