Bristol Narrows - Wayposset Preserve

This public boat ramp provides access to the Kickamuit River and Bristol Narrows at the mouth of the river where it meets Narragansett Bay. The site features a small parking lot and gravel beach suitable for launching both motorized boats and hand-carried kayaks and canoes. The facility is ideal for paddlers of all experience levels looking to explore the lower Kickamuit River's wide tidal estuary environment.

**Practical Tips:** Park above the high tide line to avoid tidal flooding of your vehicle. The area can become busy during summer months, so plan accordingly. The location provides access to a scenic estuarine paddle with views of historic Bristol and proximity to the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Nearby attractions include Roger Williams National Memorial, making this a good basepoint for a day combining paddling with local exploration.
