The Town Boat Launch, located on the Shepaug River, is available for all to use. However, parking is only available to residents of Southbury by a paid permit. Southbury residents must purchase a parking permit for all vehicles that will be parked at the facility; parking permits must correspond with the license plate of the vehicle (trailers attached to vehicles are included in that vehicle's permit).
Parking permits are $10 per vehicle and can be obtained by visiting the Parks and Recreation office with proof of residency and vehicle registration. Vehicle registration must show a Southbury Address. Parking permits must be displayed on the dash of the vehicle when that vehicle is parked at the facility. For your convenience, a permit can be obtained by visiting the Parks and Recreation Department Monday-Thursday, 8:30am-4:00pm or Friday 8:30am-12:30pm, or by appointment. To make an appointment or other arrangement: please call 203-262-0633. To expedite your visit, please create a household account here before arrival.
Proof of residency is required to obtain a parking permit and parking permits must be renewed annually. Parking is limited, even for pass holders, and is first-come-first-serve. The facility's season will be determined by a variety of factors that include weather.
