Boat ramp and access finder
Public ramps, carry-in launches and shore access near you, from state agency data.
Type a town or water, or use your location, to list public ramps, carry-in launches and shore access nearby.
How this tool works
Access points come from state agency datasets: Minnesota DNR public water access sites, Texas Parks and Wildlife public boat ramps, the Florida FWC boat ramp inventory, WDFW water access sites and New York DEC boat launches and public fishing rights parking. Details (surface, lanes, parking, restrooms) appear where the agency publishes them.
FAQ
Are these ramps free to use?
Many agency sites are free, but some charge a launch or parking fee or need a state pass. Check the managing agency's page before you go.
Why are some details missing?
We show only what the agency publishes. Where its dataset has no surface, lane or parking information, the listing leaves it out rather than guessing.
