Hix Bridge Town Landing

Hix Bridge Town Landing provides convenient public access to the upper East Branch of the Westport River in Westport, Massachusetts. The facility features a concrete boat ramp and dock suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. A town parking lot serves the landing, with additional parking planned at an accessory lot across the bridge. Note that a town sticker is required for parking at this location.

This quiet river landing is an ideal starting point for paddling the scenic East Branch, which flows toward Westport Harbor and the Westport River inlet. The upper East Branch offers a more protected paddling environment compared to open water areas. Paddlers should be aware that a second ramp exists upriver on the East Branch off Hixbridge Road, though it also requires a town sticker for parking. The landing provides easy access for both residents and visitors looking to explore the river's calm waters and surrounding natural areas.
