About This Access Site
Located at 315 Front Street in Richmond, ME, this town landing provides public access to the Kennebec River via Mill Brook. The ramp accommodates both trailered boats and hand-launched kayaks and canoes, making it a convenient put-in for exploring this section of the Kennebec. Paddlers should be aware that the Kennebec is a tidal river, so water levels and currents can vary significantly throughout the day—plan your trip accordingly and check tide times before launching.
This is the primary launch site in Richmond for smaller watercraft. If you're towing a larger trailer boat, nearby alternatives with fuller facilities are available in Bowdoinham and Bath. The ramp's location on the Kennebec offers access to a historically significant river corridor and nearby recreational opportunities, including the Frances Perkins National Monument in the area.
