Common questions about New York boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in New York?
- Boating Hubs maps 208 boat launches in New York across 104 named waters. 205 are public access and 3 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
- Which waters in New York have the most boat launches?
- By mapped launch count: Erie Canal (22), Erie Canal - Mohawk River (13), Hudson River (12), Lake Champlain (11) and Cayuga-Seneca Canal (Seneca Lake) (7). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in New York?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for New York yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
