Housatonic River-Great Barrington Boat Ramp

This informal boat ramp on East Sheffield Road near the Great Barrington-Sheffield border features a small dirt parking area accommodating 2-3 vehicles, with additional roadside parking available.

The access includes a very steep dirt boat ramp (40%+ grade) that becomes muddy in wet conditions, requiring visitors to be prepared to get wet; paddling and fishing are both popular uses at this site, though fish caught here are contaminated and cannot be consumed.
