About This Access Site
Located in Nahant along Lynn Harbor, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to the coastal waters of Massachusetts' North Shore. The facility is open year-round, making it a reliable launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters exploring Lynn Harbor. Parking is available on-site, with fee-based parking during summer months (May-September, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.).
The access area is part of an expansive waterfront reservation system with over four miles of managed shoreline. Amenities include comfort stations at the reservation grounds. Paddlers should note that this is a coastal harbor environment rather than a river setting, so conditions can vary with tides and weather. The site offers a good starting point for exploring the harbor and nearby coastal areas, with proximity to swimming beaches and other recreational facilities in the Nahant area.
