**Location & Access:** The Bayonne Municipal Launch is located at West Shore Drive & West 16th Street in Bayonne, NJ, providing public access to Newark Bay. The ramp features a concrete launch with adequate water depth even at low tide, making it reliable for most tidal conditions. Be aware that the entrance is near a busy intersection and parking is tight, so plan accordingly.
**What to Expect:** This municipal facility is maintained by the City of Bayonne Parks Division and enforces a launch fee. The ramp accommodates smaller vessels well but is not recommended for boats exceeding 20 feet in length due to space constraints. The site includes trash facilities and is monitored by city police. For current fees, hours, or specific questions about conditions, contact the City of Bayonne Parks Division at 201-858-6129.
**Nearby Paddling Opportunities:** Newark Bay provides access to significant historical sites including Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Paddlers should be prepared for urban waterway conditions and commercial boat traffic typical of this Hudson County location.
