Riverfront Boat Launch Could Be Back Open Soon: Glastonbury Officials

GLASTONBURY, CT — Though the Riverfront Park boat launch continues to officially be closed until further notice, town officials said Wednesday that they expect access to the lower level of the boathouse will be permitted, as long as it is deemed safe by town staff members.

"Glastonbury staff will continue to evaluate the docks and surrounding areas for public safety over coming days and provide any applicable updates," town officials said.

Town officials also said residents should be aware of "a tremendous volume" of debris floating in the Connecticut River, some of which is underwater and not visible.

"Residents and visitors are cautioned to please stay out of the river water, including family pets, until the docks and boat launch can be fully and safely reopened," town officials said.
