About This Access Site
The Hallowell Boat Ramp is a town-operated access point on the Kennebec River located at 230 Water Street in Hallowell, Maine. To reach the site, follow Route 9 south from Augusta into Chelsea, then turn right onto Ferry Road and continue down to the river. This is a convenient option for paddlers and boaters looking to access the Kennebec River in central Maine.
**Conditions & Practical Info:** The ramp features a single gravel launch that is reported to be in poor condition and becomes unusable at low tide. On-site parking is limited, so plan accordingly. Paddlers should check tide schedules before visiting and be prepared for potentially challenging launch conditions. The site works best during higher tidal stages, making it more suitable for timing your visit around tide cycles on the Kennebec River.
