Ramp Burn

Wondering if anyone could suggest a decent ramp for me. I'm bringing the boat up to Attleboro while I help my son build a stone patio towards the end of this week. Always wanted to take a look around up there,,,, I dun no! Warwick? Barrington? maybe further south. Not looking forward to hauling a boat thru Providence....

crash and burn
TIA,,, Gup

Make sure to mind the channel ALL the way out, very skinny water on either side. Great Ramp.

The Somerset ramp is nice but for some reason they think its a super ramp and charge $8 a day. Across the river in Fall River that ramp is brandy new and FREE. Check it out it by the war memorial at Bicentennial Park.

If we're talking about the Swansea ramp, I heard that the beach parking >even for town residents is $8 too.

Fall River is great, ...a bit steep on dead-low so bring good rubber if you're towing large....If fishing at night, I suggest you don't leave any valuables in the truck and watch your backside, that boat-ramp area is a hang-out for undesirables.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Stay away from the somerset Ramp it will take you 30 mins to get out of the river its small and the cross current sucks , Go to Swansea boat ramp its bigger its an easier in and out and its right off the Highway and it dumps you right out into the Bay and last i knew it was 5 bucks and a lot of parking
