Lane's Cove Landing

Lane's Cove Landing is a public boat ramp providing access to the Atlantic Ocean in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Located on Cape Ann's scenic coastline, this facility accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The ramp offers a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the open Atlantic waters and nearby coastal features.

This location serves as an ideal base for exploring the rich marine environment of the Gloucester area. Nearby, paddlers can visit the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses over 4,700 acres of diverse habitats including sandy beaches and dunes, or venture north to Thacher Island National Wildlife Refuge, a important stopover site for migratory seabirds located approximately 30 miles north of Boston. The cove itself provides sheltered waters ideal for launching before heading into open ocean.

Before visiting, paddlers should be prepared for Atlantic Ocean conditions and check local weather and tide forecasts. For specific details about ramp conditions, parking availability, and any seasonal restrictions, contact local Gloucester authorities or the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.
