Boat Ramps by Waterway
We track 256 waterways nationally - rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and other bodies of water with at least one verified public boat ramp. A "waterway" here means a specific named river, lake, or reservoir stretch; the number next to each one is how many public launch sites we currently track on it.
Long rivers commonly cross state lines, so the same river can appear more than once in this list - once per state, since ramps, fees, and managing agencies are all state-specific even when the water itself is continuous. Because of that, we organize waterways by state everywhere on this site: each state has its own dedicated page listing only the ramps actually within it, rather than one page trying to represent an entire river system at once.
Every waterway name comes directly from the federal or state agency dataset a ramp was sourced from. When the same river or lake is recorded under more than one spelling in the source data, we normalize it into a single waterway wherever we can - though with data pulled from dozens of agencies, a few inconsistencies still slip through, and we work through them as they're found.
