Wilgus State Park offers a hand-carry boat launch on the Connecticut River with a steep and muddy takeout, making it suitable for canoes and kayaks rather than motorized vessels.

The park provides convenient access for paddlers doing single or multi-day river trips, with on-site amenities including 15 tent/RV campsites, 6 lean-to sites, 4 cabins, canoe and kayak rentals, and hot showers.

Day use is available 10am to sunset, with a small parking area adjacent to the launch.
