Ashton Ave Fishing Access Site (also known as Joe Girardi Park) is a small boat launch on the Hoosic River in North Adams featuring a dirt parking lot with space for several vehicles and a sandy beach area for launching canoes and kayaks.

The site provides access to a calm section of river suitable for easy paddling toward Williamstown, with a small unmarked trail along the riverbank; however, the boat launch consists of wet dirt with no accessibility features and the parking lot is uneven with large stones.

This is a primary put-in point for recreational paddlers and the Hoosic River Watershed Association's rafting trips, though the eroding banks and lack of developed infrastructure mean visitors should be prepared for rustic conditions.
