From what i have heard, state launches will remain open. I will try to find the article i read about it.

Also from a guy in my club with some words edited
"I just got off the phone with Empire State Development. They are the ones that created the “List”
This list is ONLY for businesses. So a marina that has a boat launch could get fined for allowing the use of the launch. The marina can get fined, not you! The only thing that you could get a ticket for is social distancing.
Boat launches ARE NOT closed. Businesses that have boat launches are required to be closed and get get fined if they are not.
A public or private boat launch like the one at Waneta/Lamoka IS NOT a business, therefore it CAN be used.
This doesn’t mean that some officer won’t try to give you crap, but remember , these types of launches are not businesses, so there is no “Business” for the officer to fine.
Governor Cuomo clearly stated that “people can and should get out, it is healthy”
If you do get stopped at a launch, don’t be a jerk and explain to the officer;
-That we have talked with Empire State Development.
-This launch is not a business
-You are abiding by the social distancing
This doesn’t mean that State launches won’t close, because they might. We would just have to find another launch.
Empire State Development is processing thousands of requests for clarification, so I do not have it in writing yet. This is based only on my conversation with them directly. I have asked for a formal clarification, but it is now in the pile of a thousand other requests.
I hope this helps"
