Default Genesee NSR Boat launch

Is the boat launch available again? This is where 770 crosses the NSR by Genesee.

Thanks for the Info
Brandon

Small trailer still possible? Or completely impassible ?

The ramp starts off OK, but the bottom of the ramp is just below water level with huge chunks if concrete lying below it. If you stop on the good part of the ramp, the boat will be high and dry. Back down further, and the trailer will rest on the ramp. The blocks could tip the trailer.

Try Range road 33. Seen lots of guys launch there for several years. No concrete though. Just gravel bottom so click in the 4x4. Access it from hwy 627 west of hwy 770. *No guarantees what condition it is in though.

Google map these co-ordinates for where it is.

Was able to launch my 14 foot jet with no issues. Definitely helps having a spotter to keep you on the blocks. License plate from the trailer was stolen however.

Definitely can get stuck at 33. Bring a buddy so if you gotta push with the boat once it’s on the Trailer you can

33 is ok. A little rutted up but at least the random camping party crowd has screwed off for the year.

We usually to two trucks there just in case we need to give a tug.

Genesee isn’t as bad as it looks. Just have to creep off the ledge. I’ve had no issues launching my 20ft outlaw there. Trailer clearance is only about 2 inches , but it’s enough
