EZ Kayak and Canoe Launch

Kayak and Canoe Launch is OPEN for the 2023 season

Located at the end of Hillsdale Street, off Chestnut Hill Road

This system helps anyone with mobility issues get into and out of their kayak or canoe with ease. There is also a transfer chair so that someone in a wheelchair can get into their boat.

We hope that you all can enjoy this beautiful section of the Cocheco River in Hanson Pines. Please be respectful of this lovely, quiet neighborhood as you use the launch. It is a carry in, carry out area with limited parking. There is no on street parking in this area. (For overflow parking, drop your boat and park at the Community Center down the street, and walk back.)

This launch was funded by a grant from the Rochester CDBG program and private donations. We hope that you can get out and enjoy this lovely pine forest and river in Rochester.
