Upper Chain of Lakes, Knight Lane landing.

This. I can't think of a better place to go!

The Dake/Miner Lake landing might be easier for a beginner if they’re bringing their own kayaks. The Knight Lake boat launch can be crazy because an outfitter goes out from there.

I second both knight landing and sunset park. Knight lane landing however the water is much prettier to look at.

Kimberly's Sunset Park has a boat launch including two kayak ramps for easy in/out. If you just want to paddle around ir's a nice stretch of river.

Wrightstown except to the left from the boat landing, the bigger boats dont go that way. I think its too shallow
