BOATERS DREAM
Many of our travelers launch their own boats and jet skis at the nearby Lattins Cove Boat Launch in Danbury. It is FREE of charge and just 5 minutes away. Candlewood Lake rules and regulations can be found on their website at https://candlewoodlakeauthority.org . Try to schedule your launch as early as possible since the parking lot is a first come first served lot with limited capacity. Please do your part to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive zebra mussels to Candlewood Lake. Law enforcement will stop boats from launching if they find any invasive species, including zebra mussels.
WATER SPORTS
If the thrill of wakeboarding or waterskiing is your passion Candlewood has it. If you’re looking for a calmer, more serene spot, you will find it at Candlewood. If your preference is to have the kids pulled on a water tube or just letting them splash around in the water, then Candlewood is the place for you. There is something for everyone.
Lakeside Watersports is a boat rental company that offers wakeboarding, water skiing, wake surfing and tubing lessons combined with your boat rental. Visit them on https://lakesidewatersports.com .
