About Lake Housatonic

Lake Housatonic is a public boat ramp in Naugatuck Valley Planning Region, Connecticut, on Lake Housatonic. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Naugatuck River (Segment 2 of 2), Housatonic River (Segment 2 of 4) and Long Island Sound West of New Haven CT/Port Jefferson NY (Area 6 of 9).

The main water here is Naugatuck River (Segment 2 of 2). Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8466573, Shelton, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.7 mi from this ramp.
