David C. Penny Memorial Landing Boat Ramp

David C. Penny Memorial Landing is a public boat ramp on Ballard Street in Saugus providing access to the Saugus River for kayaking and paddling.

Paddlers should be aware of tidal conditions, as high tide can make passage under nearby bridges impassable and affect water levels for landing; timing launches around low to mid-tide is recommended for optimal access to the river and the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site upstream.
