The 2019 Boat Count on Candlewood Lake is complete. The Candlewood Lake Authority conducted the annual count of resident boats in mid-August. One major decrease is seen in the unregistered boat category, which includes kayaks, canoes and the like. That's partially because stand-up paddle boards are no longer included in the count. There was also a decrease of roughly 100 boats in both the registered boats and boats with cabins categories. The count showed a modest increase of about 20 Personal Watercrafts like jet skis.
