State Route 74 Shoreham boat launch
State Route 74 Shoreham
The boat ramp is reported to be relatively wide, with enough space to accommodate multiple vehicles and boats at the same time. Some sources indicate that the ramp is approximately 16 feet wide, which should be sufficient for most types of watercraft, including larger boats and jet skis.
In terms of permitted craft, Lake Champlain is a popular destination for a variety of water-based activities, including fishing, boating, and water sports. As such, it is likely that the boat ramp at State Route 74 Shoreham is open to a wide range of vessels, from small fishing boats and kayaks to larger power boats and sailboats. However, it is always best to check the latest regulations and restrictions before launching any watercraft from this or any other public boat ramp.

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.

About State Route 74 Shoreham
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.
