Boat Launch Types
Use the following definitions to help you determine if a particular site will accommodate your boat:
Hard surface launch - Site affords float-off and float-on launching for most trailered boats.
Unimproved trailer launch - No float-off or float-on trailered boat capability. Sites will accommodate the approach to the water's edge of small and light trailered boats. Boat may then be pushed on or off trailer. Usually shallow areas
Hand launch - No trailer capacity. Boats must be hand carried to the water.
