 | Lieutenant River State Boat Launch |
Lieutenant River State Boat Launch, Old Lyme | Along this segment of the Lieutenant River you can paddle a narrow tidal river while enjoying the sights and smells of nearby Long Island Sound. A turn along a bend in the river might provide a view of a tidal marsh or nesting osprey. From the launch, if you paddle to your right, or downstream, you are a little over 0.8 mile from the Connecticut River. If you proceed left (upstream or inland) from the launch, you have about 2.5 miles of scenic paddling to the limit of small craft navigation. Parking for 6 cars. PLEASE NOTE: This site is for car-top boat launching only. Santiary facilities at this site are offered only during the summer/fall boating seasson. To help you reach Lieutenant River State Boat Launch, some routes leading to this site are posted with boat launch symbol signs.
