Petten Street Boat Launch, 110 Petten Street
The City lists Petten Street as a hand-carry launch, and the 2026 City/Genesee RiverWatch notices identify the accessible car-top dock as open during the boating season. Treat it as an intermediate bailout only after confirming current dock access, parking, water entry, and marina traffic.

Port of Rochester Marina public ramp/dock, 4630 Lake Avenue
NYSDEC lists the Port of Rochester Marina as a municipal hard-surface Genesee River/Lake Ontario launch with parking for 40 cars and trailers; the City’s current boating map supplies the stored ramp/dock point. Confirm current marina operating rules, ramp/dock use, parking, and safe hand-carry exit before committing to the endpoint.
