Welcome to Amston Lake

 

Welcome to the official web site of the Amston Lake tax district! Amston Lake is a beautiful 188-acre lake located in the towns of Hebron and Lebanon, Connecticut. There are over 700 property owners in the Amston Lake District, a tax district formed by the Connecticut legislature in 2002. About half of the houses are year-round and half seasonal. But on the Hebron side of the lake, about 70% are year-round, while on the Lebanon side, 70% are seasonal. Click here for more information.
