Westfield River-Russell Boat Ramp
Westfield River-Russell Boat Ramp
Located at Frog Hollow in Russell off Main Street, this carry-in boat ramp provides access to the Westfield River for non-motorized paddling and fishing.
The site features unpaved parking for approximately 10 cars and is situated about a quarter-mile upstream from a potentially dangerous dam.
Note that the access point is currently in poor physical condition with steep, unsafe riverbank terrain, though state-funded improvements have been proposed to include a proper ramp, parking area, and safety railings.
