Crystal Lake Ellington has a small parking lot (10 slots or so) for trailer parking (each slot is a little over 2 car lengths and you can only pull in and back out).
What are the regulations on the use of the trailer spots? Does the vehicle parked have to have a trailer behind it?
If yes, who enforces this?
I ask because I was there Saturday and half the vehicles did not have trailers. I know in the winter, "the locals" use it as a parking lot as evidenced by a few times I stopped by, the lot was jammed full and there was 1 or 2 boats or ice fisherman. Considering that Ellington has a reputation of being quick to ticket cars/trailers parked on the local roads, it might be something worth looking into.
Also is there a statewide regulation for trailer parking or does it vary by launch? Mashapaug in Union frequently has it's trailer spots occupied by vehicles with no trailers.
