Kayak Launch Questions in New Jersey

Where can I launch a kayak in New Jersey?

New Jersey has 145 mapped kayak and canoe launches. Each listing has exact coordinates and one-tap directions — filter the list by town or county, or open a launch for its put-in details and what's nearby.

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.
