Smith Memorial Park, Mile 43.86

Smith Memorial Park offers a convenient boat ramp and access site for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats on Seneca Lake, part of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal system. The concrete ramp and floating dock provide easy launching for non-motorized and smaller craft.

The site is located off Route 313 in the town of Burdett, Schuyler County, NY, about 43 miles from the head of Seneca Lake. Seneca Lake is a large, deep finger lake known for excellent fishing opportunities. Paddlers can explore the lake's scenic shoreline and access the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which connects to a network of waterways in the Finger Lakes region.

Several campgrounds are located within 10 miles, including the reservable Blueberry Patch Campground, making Smith Memorial Park a good option for those looking to access the water as part of a multi-day paddling or boating trip. The surrounding Finger Lakes National Forest also offers hiking and other recreational activities to complement time on the water.
