Fife Brook Dam Boat Ramp

This boat ramp on River Road in Florida, MA provides access to the Deerfield River's 17-mile unimpeded stretch, offering paddlers Class II rapids including Hurricane Hole as a starting point and Class III Zoar Gap further downstream.

The access area features a gravel parking lot, stairs descending to the rocky shore, and facilities including accessible and non-accessible restrooms.

The location can become crowded during summer months with rafters and kayakers, and paddlers should note it takes approximately two hours for water to reach Zoar Gap from the dam.
