Use at your own risk
The Cove Boat Launch was significantly upgraded and renovated in 2004, and now offers boaters improved access to the St. Croix River. The installation of the handicapped accessible dock and gangway at the Cove Boat Ramp in the fall of 2006 completed the major renovations of this facility. The parking stalls were recently re-striped, additional riprap was installed in the ramp and gangway areas, and future plans include realigning the ramp concrete slabs.
We remind boaters that power launching and landing is prohibited.
Resident and Non-Resident Fees, additional pay information, and usage rules are listed in the "Rules and Fees" link below. Informational brochures are also available at the Troy Town Hall and the town's Recycling Center during normal business hours.
