Ashley Ferry Landing

Located at the end of Ashley Ferry Road off NH-12A in Claremont, Ashley Ferry Landing is a public boat ramp providing year-round access to the Connecticut River. The ramp may be snow or ice-covered during winter months. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to access this major river corridor.

The Connecticut River at this location is a substantial waterway—the 8th order stream drains over 11,000 square miles and averages flows of nearly 23,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers should expect moderate current and prepare for the river's significant size and power. The landscape around Claremont offers additional recreational opportunities, including the nearby Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park and North Springfield Lake, making this a good base for exploring the region's water and cultural attractions.

*Note: Check locally for current access conditions and any seasonal closures, as the ramp has undergone maintenance and reconstruction in recent years.*
