This hand-launch access point on North Otto Road provides parking for approximately 20 cars and a 250-foot carry to the water, accommodating canoes and shallow-draft boats only (no motors).

The site serves as the primary put-in for paddling the Cattaraugus Creek through Zoar Valley's Class 2-4 rapids, though paddling here is not recommended for beginners or intermediate paddlers due to hazardous conditions including strainers and swift water that can be deadly.
