Navisink River Access
 

Anyone know a place you can legally park and launch a kayak around the oceanic bridge?

I think there is a ramp in Rumson.

Behind the Rumson Municipal complex on East River Road.

Re: Navisink River Access
 

Is there enough room back there for a pickup truck, with a little flat bottom boat in the bed, or strictly kayak /small car?
can you get close enough to drag a small flat bottom aluminun 12 footer?

Re: Navisink River Access
 

There is a good sized parking lot there.

Can you get close enough to the water to drag a little aluminum boat with a 2 HP outboard to hand launch and retrieve?... bob

Re: Navisink River Access
 

Looks like you need a permit to use that ramp.

You can carry your yak down the stairs by the parking area before the bridge goes into Rumson or check

$40.00 for a day pass for a boat? Sounds kinda steep. Is it a nice ramp and what size boat can it handle?

Re: Navisink River Access
 

I have launched my yak by those stairs.

Re: Navisink River Access
 

For a kayak the Rumson Ramp is $40 per year. 1/1 to 12/31/2020



For a Kayak it's $40 A YEAR

I saw that I was questioning the $40.00 a day boat use. That is the highest that I have ever seen personally.

Re: Navisink River Access
 

Curious as to why you want to launch your yak near the Oceanic Bridge this time of year? Or are you just looking for a launch location for later in the year? If it isn't to far back, the ramp at what was Navesink Marina, now a County Park, is still good for a yak or small boat. No charge yet, as far as I know.

That supposed to be a seasonal launch in May and then take out in September boaters for $40.

You have to go to townhall and pay clerk. Not like a day trip ramp. No attendant. Only cop visits.

It's $125 per season. Not a good ramp at low tide worst with a west wind at low tide. I've been launching there with my 14' tin boat since the 1990's.
