Accessible Handicap Fishing

[Ryan_63]

A good friend was involved in a bad car crash over the winter which left him paralyzed from the hips down. I am looking for a place to take him fishing in the Rochester area, that is accessible by wheelchair. I was thinking the pier at Charlotte, any other ideas or tips that might help get a fishing pole back in his hands?

The state parks along the lake all have access. Wilson has a large paved area with guard rails. Pike and bass in the am are a great target. I love some top water. Guys out your way should know some good spots.

I believe there is a new fishing platform right off the parkway at Manitou Beach Rd. If you get off the parkway and turn right there is a parking lot with a new paved path down to the platform right near the bridge. Never been down there but I drive by it a lot.

+ 1 for Manitou Beach access. The platform extends over the water a bit, and water depth in that area in 10 - 12 ft. deep. .. nice view of the bay and lake .

 

 

Also a platform on North Greece road where it crosses Buttonwood creek.

 

Many areas around the Erie Canal are also accessable.
