DEEP reopens Lattins Cove state boat launch at 50% capacity

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will reopen Lattins Cove state boat launch on Candlewood Lake today at 50% capacity.  The boat launch was closed August 26th, following an uptick in new COVID-19 infections in Danbury and numerous reports of “rafting” – boats tied-up together in mass gathering.  DEEP says the shift in seasonal weather has reduced activity levels on the water, allowing for partial re-opening of access to provide safe outdoor recreation opportunities consistent with COVID-19 prevention guidance. The situation will continue to be monitored to deter and identify gatherings on the water and at state boat launches.  DEEP recommends that all persons using state boat launch facilities and docks maintain a six-foot social distancing separation from non-family members.  On vessels where distance is not possible, face coverings should be worn. “Rafting,” where several boats tie up, and large gatherings, are DEEP says not conducive to appropriate and safe social distancing, and are strongly discouraged.
