Pollock Avenue

The Pollock Avenue boat ramp offers a cement plank launch providing good access to the middle section of the Pettaquamscutt River, locally known as the Narrow River. Located north of Middlebridge in South Kingstown, this is a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats exploring the lower and middle portions of this scenic waterway.

Paddlers should be aware that the Narrow River is tidal and relatively shallow, with water depths often less than 3 feet in many areas. This makes it ideal for kayaks and canoes, though it requires careful navigation, especially at lower tide levels. From this launch point, you can paddle downstream toward Pettaquamscutt Cove and the Narrows, or explore upstream toward Middlebridge. The river is known as one of Southern New England's most beautiful waterways and supports diverse wildlife including waterfowl and migratory birds.

The area provides good access to nearby recreation opportunities, including proximity to the John H. Chafee and Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuges. For those seeking guided trips or equipment rentals, Narrow River Kayaks operates nearby at Middlebridge with parking available at their facility.
