View of the Echo Cove Launch Ramp.

About Echo Cove

Echo Cove serves as CBJ’s northernmost boat launch facility located at the 41 mile marker. It is a beautiful, picturesque cove that is perfect for boaters who want a relatively quiet, low-traffic area to launch. The launch ramp does not have a boarding float and it’s not usable at extreme low tides, so launching can be tricky. However, with its wonderful sites and teeming wildlife, Echo Cove is still a quaint and popular place for local boaters and kayakers to launch. Echo Cove is situated near a popular campground. There are outhouses available on site as well as a dumpster for trash disposal.

Echo Cove Amenities

  • Single launch ramp with no loading float
    • Launch ramp permits can be purchased here
  • Rustic outhouse facilities
  • Trash disposal
  • Vehicle and trailer parking

For more information about Echo Cove, please call Statter Harbor at (907) 789-0819.
