Launch Ramp:
A free (and very busy), double-lane concrete ramp is located at the base of the Galilee Escape Road and the Great Island Bridge. This ramp has a long, fixed dock and offers quick access to the breachway and ocean. Despite ample parking, the lot can fill early on weekends. Note that boats with towers may not be able to pass below the fixed Great Island Bridge.

On the west side of the lower pond, a small town launch can be found at the end of Gooseberry Road in Snug Harbor, but it’s best suited to kayak and cartop launching. Parking is limited along the street.

A free town ramp with float and parking across the street is located in Wakefield, on the Upper Pond.

Anchorages:
There is plenty of good holding ground and deep water inside the Harbor of Refuge. Just be sure to anchor outside the main channels. Best spot to anchor is in the southern end of the HOR, between the breakwater and buoy RG “N.” You can usually find good protection here in any wind, but be aware that wakes from the numerous ferries, and large fishing boats can make for a loud and “rolly” stay on the hook.

Other protected and peaceful anchorages can be found inside Point Judith Pond. A popular transient anchorage exists north of Plato Island, marked by white floats. To access the anchorage, follow the channel until you are just north of Plato Island (don’t take the shortcut, or you’ll hit a mudflat), then cut between Plato and Gardner Islands. At low tide the water is only four feet deep between the channel and the seven-foot-deep anchorage, so larger boats should run north of the islands and enter the anchorage between Gardner and Beach Islands.
