About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The Willsboro Bay State Boat Launch is located on Lake Champlain's sheltered Willsboro Bay, approximately 3 miles north of the village of Willsboro on County Route 27 on the east side of the bay. This DEC-managed facility offers a hard-surface, double-lane concrete ramp with an apron wide enough to accommodate large boats and vehicles turning around.

**Amenities & Facilities:** The launch features excellent infrastructure for paddlers and boaters, including a courtesy dock with aluminum floating docks that have accessibility features, parking for 100 vehicles and trailers, and public restrooms with handicap-accessible areas. The facility's sheltered location in Willsboro Bay makes it a good choice when Lake Champlain's main waters are stirred up by wind, providing relatively calm conditions for launching kayaks and canoes.

**Nearby Services:** The area offers convenient access to both recreation and support services, with a marina nearby that includes boat rentals for those interested in exploring the wider lake. The proximity to the village of Willsboro means amenities and supplies are readily available without requiring a long drive from the launch site.
