Ok...if Candlewood is one of the best bass lakes in the country then where is the best boating access and how do you get there from Mass?

I've only launched from Squantz Park.  Your going to navigate to Danbury, CT.  As great as people talk about it, it wasn't easy, though I fished in post cold front conditions.  It's pretty there, though.

Thanks ...I'll give it a try....heard only good things about the lake....should be on my Navionics chip so that may help.

I noticed that Squantz Park is on the New York side of the lake and am hoping for something on the East side as I'm coming from Mass. 

Try the launch on the Brookfield side of the lake, it's right off route 7 and should be easier for you. Good luck!

The Brookfield side launch is Lattins cove

Thanks guys....running out of time this year but.......is that a public ramp after Candlewood Lake Marina or does it belong to Echo Bay Marine? Are there any Public Marinas or are they all 'pay to play'?

Pretty sure they're all pay ramps.

Good info....Thanks Guys...
