canoe launch

Paddle craft access

A canoe launch is a designated spot where canoes and kayaks can be put into the water, typically a gradual slope, dock, or cleared riverbank that allows paddlers to load and enter their boats: There's a public canoe launch just past the bridge.

Also called a boat launch or put-in.
