The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge boat ramp, located on Plum Island in Newburyport, provides access for motorized and non-motorized watercraft to explore the refuge's water trails and hunting areas.

The ramp is situated directly across from Lot 1 parking and is available for waterfowl hunting during hunting season, with motorized boat launching permitted for hunting purposes only.

Visitors should check tide times to avoid being stranded at low tide, and note that parking fills on a first-come, first-served basis.
