Advice for a launch

I'm staying at four mile creek state park in may my boat is a 20' looking for advice which launch is better Fort  niagara or Tuscarora? This will be my first time in this part of the lake any fishing advice would be appreciated also. Thanks

Niagara, Tuscarora, or Olcott will do you fine. just listen to the fishing reports and pick your launch from there. I have never used the Tuscarora launch. I understand that you want to make sure you stay in the channel there. Lots of rocks outside the channel. 

I will be in the area on Memorial day weekend from Thursday to Sunday.

  Olcott is a great launch, Niagara  can be tricky with the river current & Tuscaroora is good but as mentioned stay within the channel.   Good luck.

The last time I launched at Fort Niagara, in October, it was very difficult. Both ramps need work, as they do not extend into the river far enough. Too shallow. Major problem. I hope they worked on them, but I have no idea. I think it is the closest for fishing the Niagara Bar, and lower Niagara River, which is a shame. My boat is only a 19 foot deep V. Everyone was having problems.
