Massachusetts has the freshwater and saltwater sports and enough boat ramps to get you afloat anywhere you like. Launch your motorized, sail, or paddle boat and head out for a day of great fishing, exercise, and some serious relaxing. You’ll find access to lakes, ponds, rivers, and coastal waterways via paved ramps for bigger boats and gravel ramps for smaller ones. Parking for boat trailers abounds and sport fishing piers provide fishing area for recreational anglers. Stay near the waterfront and enjoy the great service and amenities while you’re there.
