About This Access Site
Frankfort Harbor Marina (Mile 91.64) provides a well-developed boat launch facility located at the transition between the natural Mohawk River and its canalized section. The marina offers a boat ramp, docks, and seasonal amenities including restrooms, bathhouse, and laundry facilities, making it a convenient access point for extended paddling trips. A dockside café and nearby picnic areas add to the recreational appeal of the site.

The Mohawk River at this location is a large, flowing waterway (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of 3,455 cubic feet per second and moderate current of approximately 2.9 feet per second. Paddlers should expect a gradient of roughly 1.7 feet per mile in this section. The river's size and flow characteristics make it suitable for experienced paddlers and boaters, though current conditions can vary seasonally. This access point is well-positioned for exploring both upstream sections and the lower canalized portions of the Mohawk, which eventually connects to the Erie Canal system.
