CAUTION!! Canoeing and kayaking downstream from Damons Point or outside the Herring River can be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. The currents at the Mouth of the North River are deceptively swift and unpredictable-- over 15 lives have been lost over the past 20 years! Please ALWAYS wear a life jacket. Although the law only requires that children age 12 and under wear a PFD and adults wear the PFD from September 15 to May 15 (during the summer months they must have it in the boat) - please play it safe and ALWAYS wear one!

North River:

• Hanover Canoe Launch - off of Elm Street near Luddam's Ford Park. This is a difficult site at low tide, and may require some portage.
• Damon's Point - there is a launch on the west side of the parking area. A Marshfield permit is required to park here.
• Brick Kiln Road - this site is part of Pembroke Conservation land. It is ½ mile down the lane on the right, and has limited parking. This site is used primarily by local residents.
• Chittenden Lane in Norwell (off River Street) - this seldom-used town landing at the end of the lane is not well marked, has limited parking, and is only for use by Norwell residents with a permit.
• Union Street Bridge - the small parking lot on the Norwell side requires a Norwell parking permit. The Town of Marshfield maintains a public lot on the south side after the bridge.
• Kings Landing - off 123 in Norwell (small launch fee).
• Mary's Boat Livery - on the south end of the Route 3A bridge in Marshfield (small launch fee).
• North River Marine - on the north end of the Route 3A bridge in Scituate (small launch fee).

South River - several places in Humarock:

• Town of Scituate Parking Lot. A Scituate Beach Permit is required to park here.
• South River Yacht Yard. Parking is not provided - must get permission from the boat yard.
