The Marblehead Boat Launch is a state-operated facility located at 16 Marblehead Lane in Biddeford on Route 9, offering convenient access to the lower Saco River and beyond. The launch features a wide boat ramp and good-sized dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Ample parking is available at this full-service facility.
From this launch, paddlers can explore diverse water conditions depending on their interests and skill level. The Saco River extends upstream toward Camp Ellis, while downstream routes provide access to The Jetty, Saco Bay, Hills Beach, and Old Orchard Beach. Experienced paddlers can also venture into Biddeford Pool and surrounding islands, or paddle out to the Atlantic Ocean. The area's proximity to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge adds opportunities for wildlife viewing during your paddling trip.
