Rio Reservoir Boat Launch

Great, quiet and beautiful site. There's a ramp and a dock.

An easy place from which to launch a kayak, canoe, or a catamaran. This being a reservoir, no power boats are permitted. That makes this a great place to enjoy a safe quiet afternoon of paddling. For a good workout, make your way down the reservoir to the Mongaup Falls. Almost hidden from view in the greenery, this is the perfect stopping place to enjoy the lunch which you will have remembered to pack, and maybe a beverage. It's a well-kept site, and the addition of a port-a-potty would up the comfort level a notch. Still, it's a great launching point for an afternoon of enjoyment.

Beautiful spot to watch eagles fly along the river!

Beautiful view, quiet, great for eagle watching!

Very nice place. ***If you launch a boat here, make sure you have everything correct. The local DEC will go through it with like a fine comb. They love handing out stacks of tickets.
