Petten St. Boat Ramp

Petten Street Hand Launch is a dedicated canoe and kayak access dock on the Genesee River in Rochester, NY, designed specifically for paddlers seeking a safer alternative to the motorized boat launch in the harbor.

The facility accommodates car-top boats and supports guided paddles, educational programs, and recreational paddling to destinations like Turning Point Park, Seth Green Island, and Lower Falls.

The dock features handicapped-accessible design and was formally opened in September 2020.
