About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Dunfudgin Landing is a public boat ramp located at 32 Leslie O Johnson Road in Gloucester, MA, providing access to the Annisquam River just north of the Blynman Canal. From Route 128, take Route 127 North, then turn left onto Wheeler Street followed by Apple Street to reach the facility. The ramp is managed by the Town of Gloucester and recently received improvements including new lighting.

**Facilities & Practical Information:** The landing offers a dedicated boat ramp with parking available. Weekday parking is generally plentiful, though weekends can get busy. A launch fee applies (payable via envelope box if the attendant is unavailable). This is a convenient put-in for exploring the Annisquam River, though paddlers should note that while the river widens in this area, water conditions can be deceptive—what appears to be open water may have navigational constraints. The site provides good access for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to paddle the local river system.
