Do You Know the Myth Behind Lovers Leap in New Milford?

Every state has roads, towns, or parks with interesting names. The Danbury News Times has compiled a list of some of the stranger names you can find in Connecticut.

You can find the list here.

Along with each of the names, they also post a little history about the name. Some of them are pretty interesting!

You can tell that some of the stories are most likely just myths, but it's still fun to think Captain Kidd buried treasure at Silver Sands in 1699. Treasure hunt, anyone?

Lovers Leap in New Milford made this list and here is the description from the Danbury News Times:

"Across the bridge the Lovers Leap Trail heads southeast 1,200 feet to the rock formation that gives the park its name. From here, tradition has it, that the Pootatuck Indian Chief Waramaug’s daughter, Princess Lillinonah, and her lover plunged to their deaths. The Chief himself died in 1735."
