Indian Lake

The Indian Lake boat ramp in South Kingstown provides public access to Indian Lake via a gravel parking area located at the end of Indian Trail. In addition to the main boat ramp, there is a hand launch available for smaller watercraft, making this site convenient for kayakers and canoeists. The facility is easily reached from Route 1 North by following directions to the turn-around near Ridge Road and then heading to Indian Trail.

This access point offers paddlers a gateway to explore Indian Lake and potential portage opportunities to adjacent waterways. Paddlers should note that water access to Lewey Lake is available via a portage over the spillway beneath the Route 30 bridge, though this route is typically best suited for small boats, canoes, and kayaks. The surrounding area includes proximity to the John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge and Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, offering opportunities to explore some of Rhode Island's important natural areas. Before launching, paddlers should check local conditions and any applicable regulations for the water body.
