BOAT RAMP DETAILS
The Callicoon Boat Ramp can accommodate all types of boats. It is a convenient location to start or end a paddling trip on the Delaware River for it has a large parking area, easy access to the river, and even a portable toilet. However, the ramp has become somewhat eroded away and has a steep drop-off, which might make launching a trailered motorboat a little difficult.
