Common questions about Arizona boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in Arizona?

Boating Hubs maps 68 boat launches in Arizona across 15 named waters. 49 are public access and 19 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.

Which waters in Arizona have the most boat launches?

By mapped launch count: Colorado River (18), Colorado River - Lake Havasu (10), Salt River - Roosevelt Lake (9), Agua Fria River - Lake Pleasant (5) and Colorado River - Lake Powell (4). Counts are the number of separate ramps and hand launches on each water, not the number of lanes.

Is there a fee to use boat launches in Arizona?

Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for Arizona yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
