Dummerston Fishing Access Closing for Repairs in July

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s Dummerston Fishing Access area on the Connecticut River is being closed for the month of July for repairs, reports WCAX.

According to the report, the current boat ramp has been silted in for multiple years rendering it impossible for motorboats and most paddlers to launch.

The new boat ramp will be longer, deeper, and will be built into the river to avoid silting in the future. The parking lot will be getting a small expansion, which will include ADA parking and a path to the ramp.

Those who wish to use a boat ramp in the area are asked to use the Putney Fishing Access Area about one-half mile up the river. 

Repairs will be starting on July 6th.
