Captain William Clark Fishing Pier - Norwalk, CT - Piers on Waymarking.com

The Captain William Clark Fishing Pier is located at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, CT.

From the town's website:

"The Captain William Clark fishing pier at Calf Pasture was first constructed in the 1960s, extending 600 feet out into the water with a total of 1,400 feet of rail and a “T”-shaped end for maximum width furthest from shore. Hurricane Irene damaged the pier and knocked out the seawall in 2011. One year later, Hurricane Sandy destroyed both the pier and the seawall. The seawall and fishing pier were rebuilt, and the pier reopened in 2014. The new pier is in compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is accessible to handicapped fishers.
The pier is recognized as one of Norwalk’s best locations to catch flounder, porgies, and bluefish. The view of the approximately 23 islands and the harbor from the pier can hardly be surpassed. Today these islands serve as recreational sites and sanctuaries for wildlife. The Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge includes Chimon Island, Goose Island, and most of 51-acre Sheffield Island, where the historic Sheffield Island Lighthouse (built in 1868) is located."
