Canoeing and Kayaking
Munsingwear Canoe and Kayak Launch Area
The Munsingwear Canoe and Kayak Launch serves as the entry point to the Buttahachee River for canoers and kayakers. Named for the business that supported many families in the area from 1950’s to 1990’s, the Munsingwear site was home to the Hollywood Vassarette Lingerie and knitting for the Munsingwear Corp. The Canoe and Kayak launch will tie into a new track and field facility that will take the place of where the original Munsingwear building stood. The Buttahatchee River run is approximately 4.40 miles long with beautiful scenery and caves along the way.
Tree House Canoe and Kayak Launch Area
The Tree House Canoe & Kayak Launch/Recovery serves as the exit point for the Buttahachee River for canoers and kayakers. Named for the residence of the late, Blue Harbor, who was a prominent businessman well know in Hamilton. The Tree House is the new exit point for canoes and kayaks, being officially opened in 2023. Before its implementation there was no official exit point. The City of Hamilton would like to thank the family of the late Blue Harbor for allowing us to make this exit point for all to enjoy the beauty the Buttahachee River has to offer.
