About This Access Site
Adams Point provides public access to Little Bay, a scenic estuary in Durham's Strafford County. The ramp accommodates trailer parking and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats exploring this protected water body. The site includes restroom facilities, making it a convenient launch point for paddlers looking to explore the estuary and surrounding areas.

The launch provides access to Little Bay, which connects to Great Bay—New Hampshire's largest estuarine system and a nationally recognized research reserve. Paddlers should be aware of headway speed restrictions (no-wake zone within 150 feet of shore) and check current conditions, as estuaries can experience significant tidal influences. The area is ideal for wildlife observation and exploring salt marshes and shallow water habitats typical of coastal New Hampshire estuaries.

To confirm current parking fees, seasonal hours, and any restrictions before your visit, contact the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department at 603-271-3511. Access the ramp via Route 108 to Durham Point Road, then Adams Point Road.
