South Port Marine

South Port Marine offers a well-maintained public boat ramp on the Fore River in South Portland, accommodating vessels of all sizes. The facility features a state-of-the-art launch ramp and ample parking, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The access point is located approximately 150 yards west of the abandoned lighthouse at the south entrance to Fore River, with approach channels marked by private seasonal buoys.

This location provides access to the Fore River and connecting waters including Anthoine Creek and the broader Atlantic coastal waters. Paddlers should note that the approach channel uses seasonal buoys and plan accordingly. The protected waters of the Fore River make it suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should be aware of tidal influences and summer weather patterns in this coastal area.
