Piercefield public beach / Raquette River access
American Whitewater publishes this public beach as the verified alternate put-in, and current NYSDEC access guidance identifies the Piercefield Flow corridor. Confirm current town permission, parking, carry, waterline, and the powerplant/release status before launching.

Piercefield public beach / Raquette River access

NYSDEC Sevey Hand Launch
NYSDEC identifies Sevey Hand Launch as a public access point on the Raquette River via a short carry from a seasonal road. Treat this as an intermediate bailout or staged access only after confirming seasonal road, parking, carry, landing, and private-boundary conditions.

NYSDEC Moody Falls Hand Launch / carry
NYSDEC identifies a 0.1-mile carry from the Moody Falls Trailhead to the river downstream of Moody Falls. Moody Falls is a mandatory scout/portage boundary for ordinary planning; verify the trail, landing, parking, and current signs before using it as a retreat.

NYSDEC Jamestown Falls Hand Launch / carry
NYSDEC identifies a 100-foot carry from the Jamestown Falls Trailhead to the river below the falls. Treat Upper and Lower Jamestown Falls as mandatory portage hazards unless an expert group has current, route-specific clearance; confirm the carry and water entry on site.

NYSDEC Parmenter Hand Launch
American Whitewater identifies the Parmenter site as the finish, and NYSDEC lists Parmenter Hand Launch on this public whitewater corridor. Confirm the seasonal campground/road status, parking, carry, landing, and Carry Falls boundary before relying on it as the exit.
