The Wepawaug River is a stream in New Haven County in the U.S. state of Connecticut.[1] It rises in Woodbridge and flows through Orange and Milford before discharging into Milford Harbor on Long Island Sound. The river is dammed at more than ten places. In Orange, dams form the Wepawaug Reservoir, managed by the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority and Lake Wepawaug. In Milford, dams form the Upper and Lower Lagoons.[2] Race Brook is a tributary.
