Compactor Pool Drift Boat Launch

The Compactor Pool Drift Boat Launch is a fishing access point on the Salmon River near Pulaski, in Oswego County. Drift boats are the flat-bottomed boats that guides and anglers use to float the river, and a launch like this is where those trips begin.

The Salmon River is one of the best-known fishing rivers in the Northeast, famous for the salmon and steelhead that run up from Lake Ontario. A launch site gives boaters a way to get on the water and fish the pools along the way. Visit Oswego County features it.
