Lake Of The Woods boat launch
Lake Of The Woods
The boat ramp at Lake of the Woods is a concrete ramp with a moderate slope. It is approximately 20 feet wide and can accommodate small to medium-sized watercraft. The body of water it services is the Lake of the Woods itself, which is a small lake located in the town of Lyme.
According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Lake of the Woods allows the use of motorized boats, but they must not exceed a maximum length of 18 feet and a maximum horsepower of 10. Non-motorized boats such as canoes and kayaks are also permitted on the lake.
It is important to note that this information was obtained from online sources and may not be up-to-date or accurate. It is always recommended to check with local authorities or official sources for the most current and accurate information regarding boat ramps and watercraft regulations.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Lake Of The Woods as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Lake Of The Woods
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
