The Lamoka Lake boat ramp is a concrete launch facility located off County Route 23 in Dundee, Schuyler County, providing direct access to the channel connecting Lamoka Lake and the adjacent Waneta Lake to the north. This public ramp is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the Finger Lakes region. The 0.7-mile channel between the two lakes features a recently upgraded bridge with adequate clearance for most low-profile vessels, allowing paddlers to explore both lakes without removing their boats from the water.
Lamoka Lake offers good fishing opportunities for crappie, yellow perch, brown bullhead, and carp, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational paddlers. The area is situated near Finger Lakes National Forest, providing scenic paddling and nearby hiking opportunities. This is a straightforward access point for exploring the Waneta-Lamoka Wildlife Management Area and the connected lake system, suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels seeking a manageable launch location in the Finger Lakes.
