The Pomperaug River is a 13.4-mile-long (21.6 km) river in the US state of Connecticut. The two main tributaries to the Pomperaug are the Nonnewaug River and the Weekeepeemee River. It is at the confluence of these two rivers in Woodbury that the Pomperaug forms. It flows through Woodbury and the town of Southbury, where it empties into the Housatonic River at Lake Zoar.
