This concrete boat ramp at the end of State Street in downtown Bristol provides access to Bristol Harbor for trailered boats, though parking is limited to residents with a State Street Dock sticker (on-street parking available for non-residents).

The site features a high dock over 1 foot above water and includes a fuel dock operated by the Harbormaster's office.

Be aware that Bristol Harbor experiences significant boat traffic and strong tidal currents, particularly around points and under the Mount Hope Bridge, with mornings typically offering calmer conditions for paddling.
