About This Access Site
Longmeadow provides public access to the upper reaches of Narragansett Bay, positioned south of Conimicut Point and north of Greenwich Bay. The launch features a gravel beach suitable for hand-carried boats like kayaks and canoes, along with a gravel parking lot. This location is ideal for paddlers looking to explore the upper bay's protected waters and is convenient for both recreational paddling and fishing access.

The site serves as a good put-in point for small boat recreation in the Narragansett Bay area. Nearby attractions include the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which encompasses islands and shallow water habitats worth exploring. Before launching, check current conditions and tide times, as upper bay areas can be affected by tidal flows. Given the gravel parking situation, arrive early during peak seasons. This is a straightforward access point best suited for kayakers and canoeists comfortable with bay paddling conditions.
