Fish Creek boat launch
Fish Creek
The boat ramp is a concrete slab and is suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats. It is about 12 feet wide, which allows for easy launching and retrieval. The ramp is also equipped with a dock and parking lot, making it convenient for boaters to park their vehicles and trailers.
Fish Creek is primarily used for recreational boating and fishing. The body of water is known for its bass and northern pike fishing, and is popular among local anglers. The water is also suitable for kayaking and canoeing, and small motorized boats are permitted on the creek.
Overall, Fish Creek boat ramp is a well-maintained facility that provides easy access to the scenic waterway. Boaters can enjoy a variety of water activities and fishing experiences on Fish Creek and the St. Lawrence River.

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 Fish Creek as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Fish Creek
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.
