About This Access Site
This public boat ramp in Clay provides convenient access to the Oneida River, a scenic 18-mile waterway connecting Oneida Lake to Three Rivers. The ramp features a 30-foot-wide hard surface suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats of various sizes. Ample parking is available for vehicles and trailers, making it an accessible launch point for paddlers and boaters of all experience levels.
The Oneida River offers a mix of recreational paddling opportunities, with several notable features including three canal cuts (Big Bend, Morgan Cut, and Anthony Cut) that create islands, Lock 23 in Anthony Cut, and a water level control dam at Caughdenoy. Paddlers should be aware of canal system operations and varying water conditions throughout the season. The site is accessible to the top of the ramp, with additional amenities such as parking and informational resources available to help visitors plan their time on the water.
