Wayposset Preserve Boat Ramp

This boat ramp at Bristol Narrows provides access to the Kickemuit River estuary and Mount Hope Bay with a small parking lot (12 spaces) and gravel beach suitable for launching both trailers and hand-carried boats like canoes and kayaks.

Morning paddling is recommended as afternoon southwest winds can create significant waves, particularly around points and under the Mount Hope Bridge.

Be sure to park above the high tide line, and note that the site has no restrooms or ADA accessible facilities.
