Ipswich River Boat Ramp

Peatfield Landing in downtown Ipswich offers public access to the Ipswich River with a seasonal dock, seating area, and public boat rack for temporary storage—ideal for kayakers and canoeists of all experience levels.

The site features calm, flat waters suitable for beginners and advanced paddlers, on-site parking, and is within walking distance of the MBTA commuter rail station and downtown amenities.

This is the last public freshwater access point before the Ipswich Mills Dam and the start of the estuary.
