Common questions about Vermont boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in Vermont?
Angling Hubs maps 145 boat launches in Vermont across 102 named waters. 140 are public access and 5 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
Which waters in Vermont have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Lake Champlain (35), Connecticut River (4), Lake Memphremagog (3), Echo Lake (2) and Hortonia Lake (2). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in Vermont?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Angling Hubs does not hold fee data for Vermont yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
