About This Access Site
The Quaddick Reservoir boat ramp provides access to this scenic 200-acre reservoir in northeastern Connecticut. The state-owned launch is located on the eastern shore, offering easy access for both power boats and non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes.

The concrete ramp is suitable for launching trailered boats, with a turning area and parking for about 8 vehicles. Seasonal restrooms are available on-site. While no specific hours or fees are listed, the reservoir and surrounding Quaddick State Park are generally open from 8am to sunset.

Quaddick Reservoir offers a peaceful paddling experience, with calm waters and scenic views of the surrounding woodlands. Its size and protected location make it a good option for beginner-to-intermediate kayakers and canoeists looking to explore a Connecticut inland lake. Boaters will find the reservoir suitable for fishing, leisure cruising, and other recreational activities. Nearby recreation areas like Buffumville Lake and Hodges Village Dam provide additional opportunities for water-based fun in the region.
