Hemenway Landing is a public boat ramp located at the end of Hemenway Road off Route 6 in Eastham, providing access to Salt Pond Bay and the surrounding waterways. The ramp features a paved upper section transitioning to mud and sand at the lower portion, suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. Parking is available for approximately two dozen vehicles and trailers at no charge, making this a convenient, free-to-use access point for paddlers exploring Cape Cod's coastal waters.
From Hemenway Landing, paddlers can explore Salt Pond Bay and venture toward Nauset Harbor, approximately a half-mile paddle away. The site also provides access to the Herring River and The Gut, allowing for upstream paddling or passage to Wellfleet Harbor and eventually Cape Cod Bay. This location is ideal for those seeking to explore the quieter estuaries and marshes of the Cape Cod National Seashore area. There are no fuel or provisions available on-site, so plan accordingly before launching.
