Common questions about Connecticut boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in Connecticut?

- Which waters in Connecticut have the most boat launches?
- By mapped launch count: Atlantic Ocean/Long Island Sound (15), Connecticut River (5), Candlewood Lake (4), Black Pond (2) and Crystal Lake (2). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in Connecticut?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for Connecticut yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
