West Greenwich Boating and Fishing
Hello all,
I am new to the board and this is my first post. I was referred here by MacoJoe from the wellcraftv-20 forum.
I am moving to the West Greenwich, RI area the end of this month. Exit 5B off of 95 South.
Is anyone familar with that area. I am looking for a couple bait and tackle shops either in that area or on the way to the closet nice boat ramps.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to good boat ramps down that way? Maybe also fishing places to head towards from those ramps.
I have a 21' Wellcraft V-20. The boat is not in the water yet, but when it is, I would apprecaite if someone came for a ride along in exchange for knowledge of the area and fishing technigues.
Once again, thank you in advance,
Jason

This is a link to what the state has published online. You can probably get a paper map at a tackle shop. Quaker Lane is probably the closest SW shop to you on RT 2 in North Kingston..

There is a good ramp with parking on Greenwich Cove, Greenwich Bay.... on the west side near the Sewer plant; launched there several times in the last few weeks; worked well..

WELCOME!
I live a few miles east of you.
The Greenwich bay ramp is good (not the goddard park, the one on crompton ave), as RIRH points out. Closer to you w/ parking is the Allen's harbour ramp. I think you will need to pay for a sticker there if you are not an NK res. But I think it is only $20 for the season. Actually the wickford ramps are probably the closest to you The pleasant street ramp has no parking. I can't comment on the wilson park ramp. I know it exists, but I have never used it.... but I might soon. Quaker Lane B&T is on the way to all of those ramps. Or you can put in in Salt Pond which is not too far and offers other options for fishing, especially NOW. Or you can go to great island bridge ramp in galilee and be in BI sound in just a very short run (as long as you can clear the bridge, which i don't think should be a problem?). |

Parking is ample at Wilson Park; not sure if there is a cost, only used in the winter off season...
