The Cattaraugus Creek boat ramp in Irving provides convenient access to the lower reaches of this productive waterway near its mouth on Lake Erie. Located off Main Street/Highway 20 in Irving, this hard surface ramp accommodates a variety of small to medium-sized boats, including kayaks and canoes. The site offers parking for multiple vehicles and trailers, making it suitable for launching recreational trips.
From this access point, paddlers can explore the lower creek as it flows toward Lake Erie, with opportunities to paddle upstream or downstream depending on water conditions and skill level. The area is known for steelhead fishing, indicating good seasonal water flows. This is an ideal put-in for day trips exploring the creek's lower sections or for accessing the creek-to-lake paddling route. Check local conditions and any seasonal access restrictions before visiting, as access may be affected by weather or water levels.
