East Bay Road launch is on the East edge of Chimney Bluffs State Park
in the town of Huron in Wayne County.  It is about 40 miles from Rochester

Directions:  from Rochester, travel east on NY Rt 104 about 36 miles, passing the village of Sodus
and passing the turn off for Sodus Point.  Turn left onto Lake Bluff Road at a blinking
yellow light and opposite turn off for NY Rt 414.  Follow signs for Chimney Bluffs S.P. and for
the winery.  You will end up passing the entrance of Chimney Bluffs S.P. and the launch
is on the way to the winery.  This entails traveling North on Lake Bluff Road for 3.6 miles
and continuing straight onto Garner Road when Lake Bluff Road makes a sharp left turn.
In 2.0 miles on Garner Road, you pass the main park entrance for Chimney Bluffs S.P. 
Continue on Garner Road 0.8 miles past park entrance and turn left onto E Bay Rd.
Travel 1 mile North on E Bay Road and the primary launch is at the dead end at the
lake front.  For the secondary launch, turn right to remain on E Bay Rd just before the
dead end for the primary launch.  In 200 ft is a green grassy field on your left and a
parking area for the secondary launch.

Launches face NNW into Lake Ontario

Grassy rigging areas are present.  At the primary launch area, bear to the right (east) to
descend a small cliff to the shore. 

Notes:  Shore at primary launch is a pebbly floor.  At Secondary launch,
the shoreline is more sandy.  Gear carry distance is about 100 ft for both launches.
