About This Access Site
Apponaug Cove in Warwick provides municipal boat ramp access to Greenwich Bay and the surrounding waters. This is a public launching option for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats seeking to explore the cove and bay. However, be aware that the ramp features a shallow slope and offers no dedicated parking, which may limit convenience for some users. The site is located roadside, so parking alternatives nearby may be necessary.

The cove provides gateway access to Greenwich Bay and beyond, with opportunities for paddlers to explore the estuary waters and reach destinations like Newport and Block Island. The area is part of the Narragansett Bay ecosystem and offers access to both protected cove waters and the larger bay. Given the ramp's limited amenities, paddlers may want to consider nearby alternatives like Ray's Bait Shop if more robust facilities are needed, though Apponaug Cove remains a viable free public access point for launching smaller vessels.
