About This Access Site
The Chazy Lake boat ramp is a DEC-maintained hard surface launch located off Route 374, approximately 5 miles west of the Village of Dannemora in Ellenburg Depot. The concrete ramp is 12 feet wide and 40 feet long, providing reliable access for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The launch area includes a parking lot with wheelchair-accessible facilities, making it a convenient destination for paddlers of all abilities.

Chazy Lake sits in a scenic valley setting between Lyon Mountain and Ellenburg, offering calm waters suitable for various water sports year-round. The lake supports a healthy fishery with lake trout, landlocked salmon, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and northern pike, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. The hard surface ramp and adequate parking make this a straightforward access point for launching kayaks and canoes to explore this scenic mountain lake.
