Rio Reservoir hand boat launch — photo spot in F6HV+44, Glen Spey, NY 12737, USA
Rio Reservoir hand boat launch
Small, rustic hand-launch on the south end of Rio Reservoir opens access to an unspoiled, tree-edged lake within a NYS wildlife preserve. Best for intimate waterscape and landscape shots—calm mornings and golden hours yield glassy reflections; fall brings vivid color. Limited parking (DEC lot for a few cars), a rough path to shore, and only non‑trailered small boats/electric motors allowed. Weekday sunrise or late afternoon for light and fewer paddlers.
