The launch ramp is open to the public, but no public parking is provided on site.
Located on the Monatiquot River Walk, right next door to Watson Park.

The Fore River serves as the boundary line between the towns of Weymouth and Braintree. It flows for about 3 miles, into Quincy, where it meets Town River, and then flows for another 2 miles into Hingham Bay. In its final few miles, the Fore River is nearly a mile wide in some places.
