Cherry Street Bridge provides hand-carried boat access to the Taunton River with a low muddy bank launch site located 100 feet from the road on the downriver (east) side of the bridge.

Limited roadside parking (approximately 2 spaces) is available a few hundred feet from the bridge, and the path to the water can be steep and overgrown with soft, slippery mud at the shoreline.

The broad, slow-moving river offers paddling in both directions through forested areas, with the next downstream take-out at Summer Street (4. 4 miles away).
