Cartwright Park offers convenient public boat access to the Necanicum River in Seaside, located at 1378 Avenue U. This established access site provides a boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats looking to launch on the river. The park includes amenities such as picnic tables, river viewing decks, and restrooms, making it a practical stopping point for paddlers.
The Necanicum River in this area offers fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, bluegill, and bream. Paddlers should be aware that access conditions may vary seasonally—notably, the nearby SEF Johnson Tract ramp closes to vehicle access during certain periods, though walk-in access may still be available. Check current conditions before your visit, as water levels and river conditions can affect paddling. The location's proximity to Seaside makes it an accessible entry point for exploring this coastal river system.
