Sunset Bay Access

Sunset Bay State Marine Park offers a small but well-organized boat launch and marina facility on Cattaraugus Creek near its mouth at Lake Erie, with picnic tables, restrooms, and dockage available.

Parking is limited (approximately 20 spaces at the launch), so arriving early is recommended, though overflow parking is available at the end of Alleghany Road.

The site is wheelchair accessible and provides easy access for both boaters and anglers to reach Lake Erie via the creek.
