**Location & Basics**
The Magoon Access Area is a Vermont Fish & Wildlife public boat launch located on the west shore of Lake Dunmore near Salisbury in Addison County. This gravel parking lot facility provides convenient access for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks to one of the region's popular recreational lakes.
**Practical Information for Paddlers & Boaters**
Lake Dunmore enforces a 5 mph speed limit within 200 feet of the shoreline, making it relatively safe for paddlers and swimmers. The lake offers good opportunities for fishing, and licenses can be purchased at nearby locations in Salisbury or Brandon. Paddlers looking for a quieter shoreline experience may also consider Branbury State Park on the opposite shore, which has canoe and kayak access directly from the beach.
**Nearby Resources**
Two reservable campgrounds are located within 10 miles: Silver Lake Campground and Moosalamoo Campground, making this an ideal access point for a multi-day paddling trip. For detailed information about facilities, parking, and current conditions, contact the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife or visit their website.
