Re: BOAT LAUNCH SITES - DIRECTORY

The Boston boating site list launches by county.<br /><br />Also found this for you:<br />
Long Wharf Landing - Gloucester, MA Take Route 128 to Exit 13, Concord Street, Gloucester. At the end of the ramp, turn left on Concord Street, and drive .8 mile (pass under Route 128) to Atlantic Street (signed for Wingaersheek Beach) and drive .8 mile to Long Wharf Landing on right. Free Parking is available at the landing. <br /><br />Gloucester High School - Dunfundgin Landing - Gloucester, MA Take 128 to Exit 14 in Gloucester. Turn right onto Route 133 East. Drive 2.9 miles on Route 133 to Route 127. Turn left onto Route 127 and drive over the Blynman Canal Bridge; then turn left at the traffic light (Centennial Avenue). Gloucester High School is just .15 mile farther on left. The landing is behind the school. Fee for launching. <br /><br />Lanes Cove - Gloucester, MA Take 128 to Exit 11 in Gloucester. Drive three-quarters of the way around the Grant Circle Rotary to pick up Route 127 north. Follow Route 127 for 4.5 miles to Duley Street (at the Lane's Cove Market). Turn left and follow Dudley Street 0.1 mile to the cove. Park along side of the road. <br /><br />Gloucester Greasy Pole - Gloucester, MA Take Route 128 north to Exit 14 in Gloucester. At the end of the ramp, turn right onto route 133 east. Drive 2.9 miles on Route 133. Turn left onto Route 127 and drive 0.4 mile to the public landing on right. There is a small parking lot at the landing and street parking along the beach. The "greasy pole" sits in the water just offshore. <br />
I've never been to any of them, too far to drive from Wisconsin :)

Re: BOAT LAUNCH SITES - DIRECTORY

Thanks for the tips...Launched at the Gloucester High School, pretty busy spot but lots of willing hands around though. We went out into Gloucester Harbor (by Lady grace for all you "Perfect Storm" fans) then up the Annasquam ( a tidal river) and out off Wingersheik Beach. What a party they were having. It had to be 300 boats rafted and beached. Beautiful day!!!
