Altmar Drift Boat Launch

Altmar Drift Boat Launch is a fishing access point in Altmar, in Oswego County, on the Salmon River. It gives anglers a place to put drift boats in the water and start a float down one of the best-known salmon and steelhead rivers in the region.

Drift boats are the flat-bottomed boats guides and anglers use for floating rivers, and the Salmon River is famous for the salmon and steelhead runs that draw fishermen every fall. A launch like this is the starting point for many of those days on the water.
