King Park

King Park is a city-owned access point located at the south end of Newport Harbor in Newport, Rhode Island. The boat ramp is situated at the far end of the park, just before the Ida Lewis Yacht Club. To reach the ramp, take the second right off Fort Adams Drive at the Public Sailing Center lot, then bear right toward the beach. The park itself offers amenities including picnic areas, small beaches, park benches, and a gazebo, making it a convenient spot for launching and post-paddling relaxation.

Newport Harbor provides paddlers and boaters with sheltered waters ideal for kayaking and canoeing. The location at the south end of the harbor offers access to the broader Narragansett Bay system, including nearby protected waters and notable natural areas. Paddlers interested in exploring further afield can venture toward the John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge or the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, both within paddling distance. King Park's pet-friendly designation and recreational facilities make it a well-rounded destination for water-based outings.
