Common questions about Delaware boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in Delaware?

Which waters in Delaware have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Mispillion River (4), Broadkill River (3), Delaware River (3), Christina River (2) and Indian River (2). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in Delaware?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Angling Hubs does not hold fee data for Delaware yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
