This is so far the most convenient launch site for a paddle to the Graveyard of Ships.
Waypoint for Graveyard of ships is approx. L 40o 33.369' N Lo 74o 13.008' W and is approximately 0.75 miles south of the launch site.
In the parking lot there is a sign stating:
Parking Area A, Pier & Park Use Only
2 Hour Car Parking
ALL OTHERS WILL BE TOWED
BOAT TRAILERS 6 HOUR LIMIT
It looks like there is a six(6) hour limit for boaters. We should put a sign on our car stating we are kayaking (a boater) just to play it safe.
