Guide
Mossy Point is a public hard-surface boat launch on Lake George’s east shore, about two miles south of Ticonderoga on Black Point Road. It gives trailer boats and kayaks direct access to the quieter north end. The ramp is built for float-on and float-off use by most trailered boats, and the lot is listed for 100 cars and trailers. If you’re boating this end, it’s a useful put-in; as a land stop, there isn’t much reason to linger.
A Henry Knox Cannon Trail monument stands by the entrance. It marks this launch as one stop on the route commemorating the Revolutionary War haul of artillery from Crown Point to the Continental Army outside Boston. A boat pumpout is also available at the launch.
