About This Access Site
The Upper Hudson boat ramp in Lake Luzerne is a public hard-surface launch offering convenient access to the Hudson River. This single-width concrete ramp accommodates boats of various sizes and includes ample parking for approximately 30 vehicles and trailers. The site is part of the Hudson River Greenways water trail system, making it an ideal starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this scenic stretch of the upper Hudson.
This access point serves as a gateway to one of the Hudson River's more remote and scenic sections between Lake Luzerne and the lower river. The area is popular with anglers, particularly during spring striper runs, so expect moderate to busy conditions during peak fishing season. Basic amenities are available on-site, and the ramp is operated by the New York DEC. For additional information about dry storage options, conditions, or site details, contact the property manager directly.
