This public canoe and kayak launch at 2 Indian Head Drive offers access to the Indian Head River, Herring Brook, and the North River, with on-site parking and an informational kiosk.

The launch is ideal for paddlers but note that high tide occurs 3-4 hours after Boston high tide, and the river can be quite shallow at low tide requiring you to step out and nudge your boat downstream.

The site also serves as the take-out location for the NSRWA's annual Great River Race and connects to nearby conservation trails including the Mattakeeset Trail.
