Just wondering if there are any plans on building a public boat ramp soon on twin lakes. I know the state wasn't going to build useless the fees at the private launch went up from $10. Well he has gone up to 15 this yr and I'm hoping the state keeps its word on building a public ramp seeing as he raised the fee and plans to up it again 5 more next yr. For a lake we pay to stock we should NOT be expected to pay that much to launch each time. So can you let me know what the state plans on doing seeing as they said if the fees were raised they will build. Thanks for your time.

I haven't driven in to look at it, but it appears the boulders have been moved from the cartop launch. Saw someone launch a boat the size of mine (17 foot aluminum) there a couple weeks ago.

We don't want another Lake Waramaug disaster where the state agreed NOT to build a deep water trailer launch at the state park when a perfect place to do so existed. It is too long a story to go over but we took it to the top of the DEP and to the states AG. The Commissioner of the DEP wrote me a personal note explaining why he did what he did. It was all politics.
Twin Lakes should offer no such resistance but start the lobbying now. It only takes a simple decision by the owner of the marina to close his launch to the public and the Twin Lakes are totally private. This is a private marina and they can close it to the public. It is not a Bantam Lake boat launch issue with the Town of Morris.

So this is what I'm was told last yr. The state owns land and would only build a full size state owned launch on it if the marina went up on its launch fee. Which it did this yr and plans are for another increase next yr to $20. How can it be deemed a private lake when the state owns land on it and use tax dollor to stocking.

Yes they have 5 acres. So my through is if the state don't plan no doing anything about it ( what else is new). Then they should stop the stocking program there with our fish ( we pay for them). This guy is more or less making money off a fee for fish he don't pay for...we do. Plus his parking and lauach area both are horrible.

The new owner of the marina at Whaley Lake in New York State closed his launch to the public, and they used to get $30.00 to launch there, now it's private. It's not about the money.

If the state owns land it will never be private. However, overall use may go way down if the only access is for car tops.

With the way funding and staffing is right now at the deep, I wouldn't be surprised if stocking takes a hit anyway state wide in the coming years.

Make some phone calls, posting here isn't squeaky enough by any stretch.
