Comments:

Approximately 1 mile upriver (right) to the old abandoned ferry boat which is visible from the NJ Turnpike bridge. The ramp is made of concrete pavers, and isn't too muddy. To the right of the ramp is a small area of natural shoreline that might be easier on the boat.

There's a pavilion-thing for picnics by the launch but no other facilities (e.g. portapotties), unless they bring some out seasonally.
