**Location & Access:** The Lake of the Woods public boat launch is located on Burns Road, approximately 3 miles east of the Village of Redwood off Cottage Hill Road in Jefferson County, NY. This is a beach launch facility with parking for 10 cars and trailers.
**Lake Conditions & Boating:** Lake of the Woods is a 172-acre lake with a maximum depth of 80 feet, offering a scenic paddling environment in rural Jefferson County. A 10 horsepower motor limit applies, making this a quieter, more peaceful setting ideal for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The lake supports diverse fish species including trout, bass, pike, and panfish, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers.
**Planning Your Visit:** As a beach launch with limited parking (10 spaces), arriving early is recommended, especially on weekends. The small parking area and motor restrictions suggest this is a quieter, less-developed access point compared to other Jefferson County boat launches.
