What's the difference between a kayak launch and a boat ramp?
A boat ramp is a paved or concrete ramp built for trailered, motorized boats. A kayak or canoe launch (a "put-in") is a spot to carry in and slide a paddle craft into the water — often a gentle bank, dock, or gravel access, no trailer needed. This page lists the paddle put-ins; our boat ramp pages cover trailered launches.
