Information for Visiting Boaters
By David Carreau, MHMC Chairman

Entrance to the Mystic River estuary from Fishers Island Sound is primarily via the Federally marked Channel. This channel is to the west, adjacent to the Village of Noank.  In addition, there is the East Fairway adjacent to Masons Island, marked with six ten-foot pilings for small craft only.  This joins the federal channel where the river narrows, at the mid-point of Masons Island going north.  There is a small transient anchorage area north of Masons Island entered via the Auxiliary Channel to the east, also marked with pilings.
