Onset

The Onset Boat Ramp in Wareham provides convenient access to Onset Bay and upper Buzzards Bay via a recently upgraded concrete launching facility. The ramp features a 16-foot-wide, 104-foot-long concrete surface that extends into Broad Cove, offering reliable access for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats of various sizes. This location is ideal for paddlers looking to explore the protected waters of Onset Bay or venture toward the Cape Cod Canal area.

From Onset, you'll have quick access to popular boating destinations including The Narrows, Wings Neck, and Mashnee Flats—known fishing and paddling spots in upper Buzzards Bay. The ramp's proximity to Safe Harbor Onset Bay marina means amenities and services are nearby. The well-protected cove provides relatively calm conditions suitable for launching and is a good starting point for both day trips and longer coastal paddles toward Cape Cod and the Islands.
