The state’s first fully accessible family fishing area is coming to Togus Pond.
A new state boat launch — and what officials said will be the state’s first fully accessible family fishing area — was approved by Augusta’s Planning Board Tuesday night, though numerous camp and homeowners expressed concern the improved public access will bring unwanted activity to the publicly-owned body of water. Officials said the additional boat traffic on Togus Pond will be negligible because the new launch will only have parking spaces for seven vehicles with trailers.
