      I knew about the base and launch but was talking about sandy beach about 1/4 mile NW that you only could reach by boat. I guess that is base also so TYVM for info.

      The base now is closed to traffic beach and launch you can't even access anymore unfortunilty after 9-11 they gated and fenced everything off still can beach ...more a boat and swim just not on the base anymore.. sucks I used that launch all the time

      I'm sorry but i meant over by the sandbar. We used to launch in the camp years ago, head North-North-West to the "dunes" and shuttle the Scouts over ...more there. I know it's military property but we even used to take our 4x4 trucks back there and look at deer at night. We stayed at hartwick Pines when it was only 47 sites. did I date myself?LOL
