The Bridge Street West Town Landing in Chatham provides public boat ramp access to the Mitchell River. This town-managed facility offers a concrete ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to access this Cape Cod waterway. The ramp can be steep and slippery when wet, so users should exercise caution during launch and retrieval, particularly in wet conditions.
Paddlers should note the bridge clearance of approximately 11 feet at low tide—an important consideration for any vessels or canopies that might exceed this height. This is the primary public ramp option available in Chatham during the paddling season. The site is conveniently located in the town of Chatham, Barnstable County, making it a solid choice for exploring the Mitchell River and accessing nearby paddling areas, including the scenic Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge.
