How Do I Get There?

From Main Street (Rt 5), Putney at the Putney Co op and Curtis' Bar-b-Q, take the Putney Landing Road about 1/4 mile, crossing over I-91, past the Putney Inn and the West Hill Shop, cross the railroad tracks and continue until the road forks at an open field. Take the left hand dirt road to a small parking lot (with a port-a-potty). The river & docks are a short walk down the hill.
