Payne Lake Boat Ramp

Payne Lake Boat Ramp features a hard surface ramp maintained by NYSDEC with parking for approximately 20 cars and trailers, located off Theresa-Oxbow Road about 1 mile west of Oxbow.

The ramp is subject to a 10 horsepower motor limit to preserve the lake's quiet environment, making it ideal for kayaking and small motorboat use.

Year-round access is available, with winter ice fishing supported by snowmobile access to the adjacent Pulpit Rock State Forest.
