About This Access Site
The Middleport Guard Gate boat ramp provides easy access to the Erie Canal in Medina, New York. This hard-surface ramp is located at Mile 307.08 of the canal, making it a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The ramp is situated on the east side of the canal, with ample parking for up to 25 cars and trailers. This section of the Erie Canal is generally calm and wide, making it well-suited for recreational boating. Paddlers can explore the historic waterway and enjoy the surrounding rural landscapes.

The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is located nearby, offering additional outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking, birdwatching, and fishing. Boaters should be aware of any temporary navigation restrictions or mooring limitations that may be in effect, as the Erie Canal system is actively managed by the New York State Canal Corporation.
