Pineville Drift Boat Launch

Pineville Drift Boat Launch is a river access point on the Salmon River in Oswego County, used by anglers who float the river in drift boats. The Salmon River is one of the best-known fishing rivers in the Northeast, famous for its salmon and steelhead runs.

Drift boats are shallow, high-sided boats made for moving down a river while anglers cast from the deck. A launch built for them is a big help to guides and fishing partners who want to start a float without scrambling down a bank.
