About This Access Site
Located in Warwick at the end of Gaspee Point Drive, this concrete slab boat ramp provides convenient access to the lower Providence River and Narragansett Bay. The facility includes parking for approximately 10 vehicles, making it suitable for small groups of kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This is a straightforward launch site ideal for paddlers looking to explore the Providence River system and venture into the broader Narragansett Bay.

The ramp's location offers access to a sheltered estuarine environment with connections to notable nearby areas, including the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Roger Williams National Memorial. Paddlers should be aware that this is a lower river access point, so conditions will reflect tidal influences and bay characteristics. The modest parking capacity suggests arriving early during peak seasons, particularly on weekends.
