Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) today announced that the State Boat Launch located on the Branford River in Branford will reopen for boating use on Saturday, July 29, 2017. 
The launch has been closed while undergoing a major renovation.  The new launch area now includes a two lane, grooved, concrete slab ramp with concrete pavers to prevent erosion; a regraded parking lot, paved turning area; and an ADA accessible floating dock system to facilitate the safe and efficient launching and retrieval of boats.
The popular State Boat Launch is located at 38 Goodsell Point Road in Branford, Connecticut.
