Scudders Lane Boat Ramp

Scudders Lane offers a paved boat ramp with limited parking for accessing Barnstable Harbor, suitable for shallow draft boats particularly at higher tides.

The facility is tide-sensitive and requires a resident parking sticker for parking, with free launching available to residents.

The Town of Barnstable has planned improvements to the ramp including reconstruction with concrete, enhanced stormwater management, and an accessible pedestrian ramp to the beach.
