This is the last take-out point within the park boundary. If using Google Maps for directions, search “Kittatinny Point Boat Launch.”

BOAT RAMP DETAILS
The Kittatinny Point Boat Ramp has a separate concrete ramp for trailer-launched boats and a cleared area along the shore for canoes, kayaks, and other hand-launched watercraft.

There is a parking lot specifically for vehicles with trailers near the concrete boat ramp. Canoeists and kayakers can drive right down to the river to unload their gear, but they must then park in standard parking spaces at the very busy Kittatinny Point. I ended up having to park along the road, for the place was packed on a weekend in mid-October.

In addition to the boat ramps, Kittatinny Point has a picnic area and two fancy outhouses, which are what Jed Clampett would call portable toilets in permanent buildings.
