The North Tonawanda boat ramp on the Erie Canal in Niagara County, New York provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. Located at mile marker 337.23, this hard-surface boat ramp offers ample parking for up to 15 vehicles with trailers.

The Erie Canal in this area is a wide, slow-moving waterway that is well-suited for recreational paddling and boating.
