The Mohawk River Barge Canal in Herkimer County offers multiple hand launch access points, including locations in Herkimer with 40 and 5 parking spaces respectively, as well as hard surface launches at Little Falls (20 parking spaces for cars and trailers) and Rotary Park (25 parking spaces).

These access sites support both fishing and boating activities on the Mohawk River/Erie Canal system, though visitors should be aware that invasive species including Eurasian Watermilfoil, Water Chestnut, and Zebra Mussel are present in the water.
